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. (Click here for more information on my teaching background.) 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 student 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.
