Fine Art & Illustration K - 5th Grade Homeschool
The Fine Art & Illustration class for ages Kindergarten - 5th grade gives young students the opportunity to work within a range of art mediums, including drawing, painting, sculpture, and design.
Our main focus is drawing and we begin every class with a follow along drawing exercise. During this lesson a range of techniques are taught, including shape and pattern recognition, pencil control, understanding foreground and background, creating shadows and reflections, understanding value, sighting for accuracy, and more. Students also have the opportunity to work with graphite, charcoal, chalk pastel, oil pastel, watercolor, acrylic paint, ink, and more.
Inspyr Arts goal is to help students gain a strong art-making skillset based on three important foundational principles: learning how to see, committing to the art process, and embracing craftsmanship.
The first 30 minutes of class is dedicated to sketching exercises and a follow along drawing with the instructor. During the remaining 60 minutes of the class, students can continue to draw or switch to a different medium including painting, sculpting, and fashion design. Students are given complete freedom to experiment in any medium that inspires them. Instructors do not interfere with their creative decisions, however, instructors will help with the use of tools, materials, etc. and provide additional guidance and instruction when requested.
