🎨 And that’s a wrap on our Summer Art Workshops! 🎨
Six weeks.
Countless techniques.
So much creativity, growth, and confidence built. ❤️
When we started this summer, many students were picking up certain materials and learning new art techniques for the very first time… and look where they ended. 🤯
This week students learned how to build a piece from the ground up — studying composition, proportion, value, contrast, implied texture, and expressive mark-making.
Each artist started with the same techniques, but their finished pieces became completely their own. 🖤
Charcoal, water soluble graphite, acrylic, metallic accents, and a little creative courage brought these animals to life.
And that’s what happens when young artists stop copying steps and start thinking like artists? ✨
I am SO proud of every artist who joined us this summer. Thank you to all the families who trusted me with your students and helped make our biggest summer yet such a success! 🥹
✨ Don’t forget — artwork created during our Summer Workshops may be eligible to enter in this year’s County & Arizona State Fair! I cannot wait to see some of these pieces displayed beyond the classroom.
🎨 Interested in continuing your student’s art journey? Private lessons + small group classes will resume for the Fall semester. We are currently booking classes for Coolidge, Casa Grande, Maricopa, & STV/Queen Creek beginning as early as the 1st week of August-December! Reach out to get on the schedule!
