Art for Little Hands: Animals Everywhere

Send your preschooler on a creative adventure to develop fine motor skills through artistic expression. Young artists will learn to draw, paint, and sculpt as they explore the world of animals that God has created. Each week the students will learn to draw or sculpt a different animal using a step-by-step method that will teach them to break each animal down into simple shapes. The animals will be rendered in various mediums including colored pencils, pastels, paint, and mosaic. We’ll add texture and patterns to bring these animals to life! Several sculpture projects will be included to develop depth awareness. This class will also include learning some facts about each animal, adding a scientific component to your preschooler’s day at LV.

Artistic Expressions I

Artistic Expressions I will provide a mix of drawing instruction with opportunities for expression and creativity. We will begin with a unit on drawing that will use ink and markers as well as graphite. This unit will emphasize contour lines and will teach cross hatching and stippling to create various values. We will follow that with a unit on printmaking, learning several techniques that are unique to this inventive medium, including stamping with objects and creating impressions on foam board to create print masters. This is similar to wood cut printing but much easier! Our last unit will involve sketching using colorful soft pastels and completing a final pastel painting. Karine Bauch, of Masterpiece Art Instruction, will guide students with step-by-step instructions while drawing along with them at her easel. Previous students will be challenged with these all new projects! Beginners welcome also.
