This class is for students who are 6 and up. Its a mixed-age session, sometimes including teens or a few adults as well as the little ones. There is room for everyone. We will move back and forth between material and techniques with a strong underlying practice in drawing. This is a true studio session, in that many materials and techniques will be introduced . There will be an emphaqsis on choice and invention as wll as best studio practice. I would like to be able to provide a structure at Abovo where students can follow their visual interests. It is a goal of my teaching that everyone can learn to identify and act on their own aesthetic. It is an important skill for both young and old.
