Drawing and PAINTING

For now I (Emily Silver) am the one and only teacher at Silver Studios. 

This class is for young artists ages 10-14.

 In this drawing and painting class we are diving into composition, color, and mastering a variety of 2D creation tools. We will work with a range of inspiration from nature to architecture to animation while building our skills with both dry and wet media.  

Some of the projects that we may complete are:

Landscape Paintings

Comics and Illustrations

Cities and Perspective Drawings

Traditional vs. Non-traditional painting tools

Illustrated Vocabulary 

This class will take place from the comfort of your own home while in a zoom class with me from my home studio. 

The first free class will be oas at 10am est.

The skills developed through drawing and painting are the basis of so many of the art practices that follow. Learning these skills will provide a foundation for young artists to progress into more advanced and developed practices including graphic and industrial design, architecture, sculpture, installations and more. 

For this course the artist will need papers suitable for dry and wet media. This could include printer paper, sketchbook paper, watercolor paper, canvas, cardboard, chipboard, wood panels. 

For mark making tools we will need pencils (a range of graphite is ideal but not necessary), erasers, rulers at least 12" long, pens, and watercolor paint. 

If you need assistance with acquiring these supplies please reach out!   

This course will cost $250 total for 10 classes.
