Basic Drawing
Basic Level A — Recommended for ages 6 (min) to 7.5 — 1 hour class
Basic Level B — Recommended for ages 7.5 through 9 — 1 hour class
Basic Drawing introduces students to a structured drawing process which includes learning how to "see to draw," plan and follow through. The class projects are designed to guide students toward developing drawing skills while encouraging personal expression and creativity. While many of the projects are guided, each student is allowed and encouraged to work with his or her own vision and produce a unique finished piece. As in all ActonArt classes there is no critique, commentary or competition and students are asked to assess their own work. In this safe environment students learn that they can follow their instincts, explore new ideas and take chances in their work without fear of criticism. Placement of children in the appropriate class level is subject to Director's recommendation.
Children under the age of six may NOT be registered in Basic drawing classes without permission from the director.
