Introduction to Drawing with Mixed Media for ages 13 +

To Be Announced

In this class students will utilize tool and techniques that yield drawings with interesting composition, color and space.  Students will focus on creating images with effective foreground, middle ground and background. All images will be based on drawing principles that enhance the perspective, proportion and form of the subject. Students will explore techniques for separating ground from form to create an illusion of space on the picture plane. Media will include acrylic, oil pastel, pencil, charcoal and  collage.

High Fire Hawaii’s 2012 Summer Art Program for Kids ages 7 and up

Our two-week summer art classes will explore drawing, painting and ceramics in 8  2-hour classes. Classes run Tuesday through Friday for two weeks.  (NO CLASSES SAT/SUN/ MONDAY)

Tuesday & Wednesday  (days 1 & 2) Handbuilding exercises with clay.  We will focus on creating  3-dimensional objects using pinch, slab and coil techniques. Students will consider both functional value and aesthetic proportion in creating their pieces.  Projects to be determined.

Thursday & Friday  (Days 3 & 4) Observational exercises to increase spatial awareness and build a stronger relationship between hand and eye.  Students will explore different ways to use charcoal, graphite, erasers, and additive/subtractive mark making to render light on form. Students will expand their understanding of value by experimenting with extreme darks, subtle grays, and bright whites.

Tuesday, July 17  (Day 5) Glazing.  Students will learn principles and techniques of ceramic glazing. Glazed projects should be fired and ready to take home the last day of class.

Wednesday, Thursday & Friday (Days 6, 7, 8 ) Students will explore the properties of acrylic paint through color mixing, dry brush blending, and other methods of applying paint.  Students will also experiment with oil-based pastels and colored pencils to translate the values of black and white drawings into color. They will learn how to utilize primary, secondary, and complimentary colors to best represent space in their images.

The final class day will include a critique session for students to share and discuss their work and the work of their classmates.
