"Youth" Class Description
- usually ages 6-9
- 2 hours
- Our curriculum outline, click here.
- There are 3 things needed for a young student's to reach their artistic potential, 1. Some natural ability, 2. An open mind. Learning to draw "realistically" involves challenging concepts 3. Persistence, a focused effort over an extended period of time.
- With younger and newer students our focus is on introduction to drawing concepts and to mediums we offer. We present them each week with the same exercise as advanced youth. We make the exercise a less complicated so our emphasis can be on the concept. Students do the exercise each week. This allows us to see if they understand the concept. Students move to advanced youth after they have done all of the exercises 4-6 times. It takes 4-6 repetitions for many concepts to begin to make sense to them.
- Art materials are provided, including newsprint, multi media, bristol pastel papers, water color, tempera paint, chalk pastel, oil pastel, graphite, colored pencils, vine charcoal.
- We have 13 iPads for research, digital art (with ProCreate and Sketch Club) and animation apps.
- Every week students are introduced to a new fundamental skill, technique, theory or principle including measuring techniques, direct light, linear perspective, cartooning and many many more. We teach perceptive skills (to draw what we see) and cartooning skills (to draw from memory and/or imagination). The demonstration is videotaped (click here for an example) and made available for review to all students at our website. We visit students at their easel during the exercises and creative time in class.
- The Wednesday 6-8 class is taught by Diane Roth. Diane has a degrees in Illustration and industrial design from Rochester Institute of Technology), and is one of my full time oil painting students.

- We have 13 iPads for research, digital art (with ProCreate and Sketch Club) and animation apps.
- About half of the time in class, students work on their own creative projects.
- We emphasize creativity, through an understanding of fundamentals skills. Every week students are introduced to a new fundamental skill, technique, theory or principle including measuring techniques, direct light, linear perspective, cartooning and more to help them learn to draw and paint. We teach perceptive skills )to draw what we see), and cartooning skills (to draw from memory and/or imagination). We draw cubes and cylinders often for our future architects and engineers. The demonstration is videotaped (click here for an example) and made available for review to all students at our website.
- Many of our high school students get credit for attending our school. See "Credit Flexibility" at the Ohio School Board.
- We visit students at their easel during the exercises and creative time in class. I visit personally, and I have assistants that visit.
- Our intention is to keep art fun for all of our students and introduce them to fundamental skills. Ultimately, our skills will enhance their creative experience.
