Elements of Art: Color, Line & Shape – Live Online Class for Ages 10–12 / Saturdays, October 18 – December 6, 2025
This interactive class introduces young artists to the building blocks of visual art. Students explore how color, line, and shape work together to create mood, movement, and meaning in an image. Through hands-on projects, they’ll experiment with mixing colors, drawing expressive lines, and combining shapes to tell stories visually. The class emphasizes exploration and play while helping students see how art is both a form of self-expression and communication.
What Makes This Course Different?
Foundational Skills Made Fun: Instead of just memorizing definitions, students learn through playful experimentation.
Creative Exploration: Projects are designed to encourage freedom, curiosity, and personal interpretation
Visual Literacy: Kids begin to understand how visual elements affect emotions and meaning.
Encouraging Feedback: Each child’s unique voice is supported and celebrated.
