Description
The Art of Color is now online. This class will provide children a studio experience from their own home. All lessons will be led by our Teaching Artist Emily Buchalski and allow your child to socialize with other students in the class. You must have internet on a device with a built in camera to participate. A fundamental skill for all artists is gaining a deep understanding of color. The course will focus on the fundamental importance of the color wheel, with lessons that will be directed to develop more of an understanding of primary colors, secondary colors and tertiary colors. Exercises such as value scale and dimensional shape drawings will explore how to work with colors as well as the relationships that colors have with one another. We do all this by using a wide range of mediums like colored pencils, tempera, and more.
