Level 5: White on Black Project

To build off of the last project, the Scratchboard project, the students have to now use a white pencil to again focus on the high lights and build the lights from a black background – hence the title ‘White on Black’. It is all about helping them learn to view the components of the artwork in different ways and appreciating the importance of a highlight within the composition.

What We Do...

At the beginning of each class, I encourage 15 minutes of 'free time', where the child is allowed to draw anything that they want. I feel that encouraging free and personal creativity, without any outside influences is an important exercise for them to engage in on a regular basis.

I start the lessons focused on the basic elements of drawing. Starting with graphite, we do a series of technical exercises and then use the skills on a finished project. The next section them moves onto ink, followed by colored pencils, chalk and oil pastels, and then paint. The amount of time that it takes for the child to work through each skill is taken at their speed, and their finished projects will be based off of their own interests with some simple 'rules' for them to follow.

Tuition includes all materials for each class and the classes last for an hour and a half.

As we listen to enlightening music, have 'Brain Food' and enjoy the company of friends, art class truly is a great place to be.
