Drawing workshops with Naomi Hart Johnson

Ages 9-18   

Wednesday 4pm - 5.30pm - 10/27, 11/3, 11/10, 11/17

In this program of four classes, young artists will investigate and the foundational principles and skills of drawing.   

We will explore how we can use the marks we make and the lines we draw to record what we see around us, but also to express our emotions and ideas.  Participants will experiment with communicating their own ideas and experiences through the marks that they make and the art that they create.

They will play with elements of art such as line, shape, form, pattern, texture, tone and color, exploring the effect of using these elements in a variety of ways to create their own unique works of art. They will look at inspiring examples of how other artists have used different ideas, techniques and materials to make their art and experiment with a wide range of different art-making techniques.

Techniques used will include mark-making with pencil, charcoal, pastel, monotype print-making and ink.
