This class is for students ten and older who show an elevated level of artistic interest or talent. In order to participate in this class a portfolio review needs to be scheduled with the studio for evaluation. Things such as sketches or doodles speak volumes of a persons intent so there is no need to do or bring anything elaborate. At this level, students are expected to keep an ongoing sketchbook, recording whatever images or thoughts they have throughout the week. They will learn what a sketchbook is used for as well as the myriad of types that exist. They will develop a strong foundation of color and line theory, learn to render three dimensional objects and start to develop their understanding of abstract thinking. They will start to think like an artist.
