Art for Kids (Ages 2 - Teen)

The Art Class

This is the class that put Lakewood Arts/now Studio Arts on the map. It's the ideal environment for making art because it supports kids' creativity, builds self-esteem, and rewards parents with art works by their children that they'll treasure forever. In this project-based class, kids use a variety of media to explore art techniques and traditions, giving them a solid base for branching out in their artistic pursuits.

Drawing and Painting

Our most requested class! Classic Drawing and Painting instruction is for young artists interested in building their skills upon traditional basics. Even the youngest students can explore the challenges of figure drawing; theories of perspective; and drawing from observation. Students work with acrylics, watercolor, tempera, pen and ink, pastels, and charcoal while engaging their imaginations; gaining inspiration and techniques from the Masters; and learning to See as the Artist Sees.

The Art Of Cartooning

Express your inner Super Hero! This is the ultimate class for the kid who lives and breathes cartoons. Students make their own slick comic books as they learn professional techniques for drawing and writing stories. Study anatomy, facial expressions, movement and how to draw the best “ka-pow” and “boom boom boom”. Older kids/teens will be encouraged in their pursuit of manga.

Independent Study

Instructor will present projects that can be accomplished in several different media which each student may approach in a different way. Lots of conceptual thinking and a real sense of invention and ownership for the student is the result. We will be combining students with different concentrations in the same class - some in clay, some sculpture, some drawing/painting, etc. Small class size a must!

Architecture

Imagine your dream house. Is it a skyscraper or an underground dwelling? How often have you drawn plans for it? We want to see them and help you make it a model reality. Develop an architectural vocabulary through imagined sites, clients, and materials. Create a series of conceptual drawings and beautiful models. Yes, we will make blue-prints too!

Art and Animals

This class is Barley's new pet project. At Studio Arts, we are inspired by the beauty the natural world. Dive heart first into clucks of chickens, herds of horses, the dogness of dogs, facts of frogs and any other intriguing models we happen upon. Some field trips in the neighborhood will require you to drive just a little bit. Projects will involve all media (draw/paint/clay/sculpture) and will be FUN and AMAZING.
