Classes

Our goal is for our young artists to both learn and have a great time doing it! With a small group of children, sparks of creativity can be seized upon and used as jumping-off points for greater exploration and expression. A child's meandering creativity is respected and hopefully enriched by our guidance. Our small classes enable us to teach real skills effectively. We have the time and freedom to stop and discuss a piece of art or a period in art history at the moment when it becomes relevant in a child's work.

In this class we will explore the genre of the Still-Life, constructed through the technique of collage, a major innovation of the twentieth century. The artists who will guide and inspire us along the way will include Giorgio Morandi, Anne Ryan and Georges Braque.Taking a cue from the Cubist Movement that revolutionized the art-making process at the beginning of the twentieth century, we will investigate the use of everyday materials in creating a collage still-life.
