This session will be all about shadows! We will earn our shadow button by learning about how artist use value (the difference between light and dark). We will create some fun and slightly spooky art pieces to earn our buttons and learn how to shade!
In this session we will:
-LEARN how shadows are used by artists to create dark areas in artwork, how shadows help 2D art look more 3D and how shadows change the mood of an art piece.
-PLAY a fun shading or gradation activity or game.
-LOOK for shadows in artwork and discuss how the work would be different without the shadows.
-CREATE two pieces of art that incorporate obvious geometric and/or organic shapes and/or demonstrate how shapes can be used to help us draw.
An Art Academy apron is required to attend this class. If this is your child's first Art Foundations class, please add an apron to your registration at checkout. They will receive their apron on their first day of class.
This is a four week class for ages 4-7. Buttons will be awarded to each child at the end of the last class.
All art supplies for these classes are provided by the Art Factory. A sibling discount of 10% is automatically included.
About the Art Academy:
Here at the Art Factory we believe art-loving kids need more opportunities to develop their talents and be rewarded for their creative accomplishments. That is why we are rolling out a new learning program, Art Academy by the Art Factory!
The Art Academy is a comprehensive art education program for kids ages 4 & up. This program is different from other classes offered at the Art Factory. Each learning unit is based on an appropriate age group curriculum framework designed by our very own art education experts.
Much like scout programs, Art Academy students will learn specific concepts and skills while completing various tasks to earn buttons they can display on their class apron.
Each academy level will have their own curriculum plan that is designated using apron colors and buttons. Students will collect and display their awards throughout their time in the academy.
