AFTER SCHOOL 9Y-12Y


OP ART RULES!

WEDNESDAYS 5:30-7PM

8/26-9/30

Get ready to trick the eye and spark the imagination! In this awesome art class, young artists will explore the world of Op Art, discovering how simple lines, shapes, and colors can create mind-blowing illusions of depth and movement.
In this six week session, creators will- 
  • Draw 3-D grid illustrations that seem to pop right off the page
  • Design, cut, and weave their own optical illusion cubes
  • Build a perspective landscape that plays tricks on the eye
  • Hand-draw and color spinning tops bursting with pattern and motion
  • Create bold starburst letters using line, shape, and color for eye-popping effect
No experience needed, all supplies included 

This enriching class is thoughtfully designed for both new and experienced creators eager to explore their ideas and develop new skills. Participants will engage in creating 2-D and 3-D works using a variety of mediums, including drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, mixed media, sculpture, and fiber arts. Throughout each session, we will incorporate discussion of influential artists, major art movements, and apply fundamental concepts like the elements and principles of design and color theory. Over the course of each six-week session, students will explore a variety of concepts while collaborating with peers and the instructor, fostering a supportive sense of community.

Each 6 week session offers a new area of concentration and exploration and is open to any participant regardless of previous participation. 

Please come dressed in clothes you are comfortable getting messy in.
