Animals & Instruments, Saturdays from 3:30pm - 5:30pm , Painting Class

ANIMALS & INSTRUMENTS by Instructor Artist Lupe Hernandez

Making music is a universal human trait that goes back to at least 35,000 years ago.  Animals and Musical Instruments Art Studies will cover artwork that incorporates a fusion of animals with instruments, enabling Young Artists to create a new hybrid.  Students will learn about instruments and animals from around the world as they collaborate their ideas to create their artwork.

Students explore, discover, problem solve, create and enjoy as they learn principles of art.  Students who choose Drawing will experiment and work with pencils, color pencils and markers, on paper, as they learn Shapes, Forms, Proportion, Space and Shading.  Students who choose Painting will work with acrylics on canvas, learn the same principles as with Drawing and in addition Color Mixing, Color Blending, Paint Application and more.

These classes allow students to develop and improve their Drawing and Painting skills as well enhance fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, improve critical thinking skills, lateral thinking, complex analysis and critical thinking skills.

• • Expressive Drawing & Journaling,
