The Youth Art Center is off and running. We were thrilled to have excited bodies fill the classroom on Thursday.
We started off by introducing the "Elements of Art"; Line, Shape, Color, Value, Form, Texture and Space. Then spent the rest of the class time doing contour drawings of objects and each other, training our eyes to draw what we see. Often we use symbols, drawing what we know instead of what we see.
It's a great way to break away the fears of not being perfect, get comfortable with each other, laugh and begin learning.
Connie, Bryndi is LOVING art! She is always so excited to come home and share what she has learned!
