For ages 9-13 (please consider your child’s interest level and abilities if outside of this age range, please no cell phone use during class)
This series of classes is à la carte. Sign up for one or all five! See below for more information.
5 weeks • Tuesdays • April 6th - May 4 • 4:00-5:30 pm • Members $25/class OR $100 for all 5 weeks • Non-members $35/class OR $140 for all 5 weeks
Week 1 Fairytale Opposites: All of the beloved stories we hear growing up have very distinct characters descriptions and with them we often find color association. Just how bright Red can symbolize someone’s signature riding cloak, or Purple can remind us of a certain sea witch, colors can tell us a lot about a character, but why? Is it all about memory? Or do the colors carry a deeper symbolic meaning? Students will learn how to utilize color symbology to create a dual image canvas depicting two characters from the same story. Will it be villain vs hero? The adventurer and a sidekick? You decide!
Week 2 Dragon Eyes: You find yourself creeping through the darkness of an incredibly chilly cave wishing you had remembered a warmer cloak while desperately trying to not make a sound… You were tasked to retrieve something very precious from the creature living inside this cave and you’re dreading facing the monstrous beast, best to hope it stays sleeping… Your torch suddenly goes out! Frantically you start groping the air around you trying to find the cave wall and get your bearings. Your fingers clench onto something cold and rocky. You sigh in relief, but all too soon! The rock under your hands begins to feel warmer and starts to glow, you step back amazed! A large piercing eye opens directly in front of you! You found and woke the DRAGON! Paralized in fear, you start praying this will not be the last thing you see… Students will create their own version of this paralyzing image, focusing on texture and contrast to create a life-like rendering of a Dragon’s eye on canvas!
Week 3 Fairies & Elves (and other Fantastic Creatures) Ever wonder how to develop your drawings to have an air of fantasy? Learn tips and tricks to creating fantastic creatures, with inspiration from different artists such as Iris Compiet (who has created illustrated versions of Jim Henson's characters in The Labyrinth and The Dark Crystal), Brian Froud, Alan Lee and Jos. A Smith for their illustrated work on fairies and more! Students will create a full color sketch storyboard for their favorite type of creature focusing on body elements, details, structure and shapes.
Week 4 Storybook Symbology: Just like with color, simple objects in stories can often be more than what they seem and can encompass an entire story with one look, like a glass slipper, or a magic lamp. Students will create a canvas to mimic the cover of a storybook and utilize a single object to depict what that story is. Inspiration can be anything from beloved fairy tales, to comics, modern books and stories, or even movies!
Week 5:Family Crest/Coat of Arms: A family crest or coat of arms is a symbol used to identify families or individuals. It is a detailed design that often includes a shield, crest, helmet, motto, and more. The image could be used as a whole, or the crest can be used as a simplified symbol. Utilizing all we have learned about color and symbols, students will create their choice of a family crest or coat of arms to depict their own family and or self. They will choose their own colors and design elements, some of which will be decided upon during our previous class.
