Curriculum Overview

Intro to Color, Light, and Value.

Starting with ages 3.5 students are shown how to mix colors, how to use the color wheel, and how colors react on a page together. As students continue to learn they experiment more with value, tone, reflective color, and undertones and develop important fundamental understanding of color.

Exploring Creativity and Self Expression

Students are given different prompts, ideas and topics to work with that they put a personal spin on. Students learn to make choice about subject matter and composition. As students work on creative projects they learn to ask why, to think about what they are saying with their artwork. These type of projects create thoughtful and critical thinking artists.

Interacting with Art History

Learning from Masters, looking at human history, developing personal connections, and understanding other cultures through art. These projects dive into different art periods and the development of people and art throughout time. Students learn why artwork was made during different periods of time and how it effects us today. These projects help students put themselves into the shoes of another artist and dive into their subject matter, style, and concerns.
