Art Scol instructors celebrate individuality and work with each student to develop his or her artistic expression. Yes, we teach how to mix paints, cross-hatch, blend and other skills that lead to artistic achievement. But most importantly, we provide support and encouragement; we instill the confidence, openness, and the ability to navigate doubt and frustration—skills that are essential to creativity in art and in life.
Our instructors work with each student individually to broaden their artistic expression. The students are guided to initiate, develop and finish their own project and ideas - we do not work on group projects. In this 1 hr. long class we encourage an open ended experimentation with variety of 2D media: pencil drawing, charcoal, pen and ink, ink painting, color pencil, watercolor and gouache, oil and chalk pastels, etc.
