What we offer:

Big Paintings, Big Feels Saturdays (April 11 - May 23) Ages 6-10 / 10-11am 7 weeks $245 Are you interested in learning new ways to make art? In this course, young artists will explore abstract painting week by week by creating their own extremely large (30x40) canvas painting. Through floor and wall painting, students will learn that art isn't only about what you see—it's also about how you express yourself…aka “all the feels”. Each week we’ll experiment with new materials like tempera, watercolor, and oil sticks and create unexpected layers, vibrant colors and bold forms. We will also try unconventional painting processes (ever painted with a squeegee?) with unexpected materials. We’ll learn about the energy of action painters like Jackson Pollock and Joan Mitchell, the color fields of Helen Frankenthaler, , the bold strokes of Willem de Kooning, as well as the energy of the Gutai painters. This class will be tons of fun and provide lots of experimentation, problem solving, and new ways of learning! Instructors: Kate Gugliotta and Jill Kuhlman
