Beginner Level

Our young artists at this level are around the age of 4. They can recognize basic shapes easily, but it is a little hard for them to draw those shapes in their art.  All objects in the world can be simplified into a few basic shapes: circle, triangle, and rectangle. This Spring I try to instruct our young artists to observe basic shapes  in the real world, and have them represent those shapes visually (Not only by  drawing). They also have learned basic color theory and explored different media. Most of their works have completed between 45 minutes to 1 hour. Please enjoy!

Level 2
Our young artists at Level 2 are about the age of 6-7. They can handle relatively complex objects. In order to better picture objects, it is important to enhance their ability of observation. We look for the difference among similar objects, and we study proportion to obtain accurate representation of objects. Beyond the basic techniques, training on imagination has been involved into our class, such as Creative Drawing. We have also gone a little further in color theory, and have experimented different media to inspire students artistic enthusiasm. Learning from great artists has given some influence in their art, too. Most of their works have completed around one and half hours. Please enjoy!
