Art Explorer
Each week, various art methods are explored, including, but not limited to, drawing, collage, assemblage, printmaking, and painting. This is a great class to expose yourself to a variety of art media, as well as to various artists. I was inspired by NSCAD’s Foundation Year in which students try many different courses.

Art Explorer I (6-9): Monday 4:00-5:30
Art Explorer II (9-12+): Monday 5:30-7:00

Drawing
I offer drawing classes as its own art form and as the basis for other art media. The class teaches drawing fundamentals and progresses as the student’s progress. Classes are tailored to the student’s specific interests. Yes, you should learn how to draw and to observe, before you paint!

Fall Schedule*:
Drawing I (10-12+): Tuesday 5:30-7:00
Drawing II (12-14+ with Drawing I or experience): Tuesday 4:00-5:30 or TBA

NEW Beginner Watercolour
I now offer a Beginner Watercolour Class. These classes will be private, or semi-private (Max 4.) The class teaches watercolour fundamentals. We begin with tools and paint to basic technique (colour theory, mixing, simple and compound strokes, and onward). Classes progress as the student progresses. Subjects will be floral and landscape (not portraits).
Fall Schedule:
Mon-Wed 10:30-12:00 or 1:30-3:00 Exact class time will be determined by student requests (classes are once a week).
Materials will not be provided for this class, but will be discussed at the first class so do not run out and get supplies prior to class.
Note: Students must be proficient in basic drawing, if not, I strongly suggest taking my Adult Drawing class first. No previous painting skills are needed, this is a true beginner class.
Semi-Private class fee $300, Private is $390 for 8 1.5 h classes.
