The class would have a focus on acrylic painting on canvas. Each week we would be working on a different subject to paint together in class (example: animals, landscape, holiday themes) The beginning of class kids will have a canvass and the materials in front of them as we talk about the steps of the painting, we are doing that day. For the younger artist it may already have some of it pre-drawn for them. Together, I will teach as we mix colors, paint the background, paint the subject, and then add if there are any details at the end. They should have a finished painting at the end of each class. There is always a short time during the class time to give the kids a break from their work and play a little game or create a work of art together. .***Cornelius Residents will use RESCODE for Cornelius resident price in the shopping cart.***
