ALL CHILDREN ARE NATURALLY CREATIVE!!
ABOUT ART INSTRUCTION
I offer small group instruction in drawing-media and technique;
pastel (oil & soft); colored pencil
and water-media painting (watercolour, watercolour pencil or acrylic)
to children,third grade through teens.
Art Lessons are generally scheduled for Tuesdays & Wednesdays,
and are conducted in my home in the Tanglewood area of Tuscany, in NW Calgary. Occassionally, children's
workshops may be scheduled for weekdays or Saturdays--usually during the summer months.

ABOUT ART INSTRUCTION FOR CHILDREN
The art program is centered around drawing skills, but I vary the way in which
the drawing skills are learned
to keep the youngsters interested. Sometimes, we
do traditional drawing with pen and ink or pencil and stomp.
Usually, drawing
skills are incorporated into a number of different media -- sometimes pastel
(chalk or oil), sometimes colored pencil,
other times watercolor, and often,
I use a multi-media approach.
The instruction is project-oriented so that the youngster has a product for
his/her efforts to take home.
Periodically, we mat the artwork for them as an
extra reward. Usually, we begin a new project
every two-three weeks. The participating
youngsters most often choose subject matter,
with animals being the favorite
choice of the younger ones. Older students learn more
specific media technique,
composition and portraiture. |
