8-week Art Boot Camp for Teens - let's prep for portfolios!
December 29 - Feb 15, 2021
Tuesdays 5:30pm - 6:30pm
two 4-week sessions available/ $99 per 4-weeks
includes real-time instruction & critiques, password protected page with all art resources, extra practice assignments, select demo videos
Instructor: Lind Hollingsworth / info@thestudioschoolsavannah.com
REGISTER HERE
This class is intended to help teens up level their art audition portfolios; however, non portfolio seeking students may join in. Each week we will have an assignment that can be either begun and/or refined in class as students will have access to a password protected page created just for them where assignments will be posted before we meet in our virtual classroom. Students will need to begin some assignments on their own and use class time to refine their art with instructor guidance while other assignments will be started in class and students will refine them on their own time. The instructor will be available for assistance through email contact. If students complete all assignments, they should end up with 8 total art pieces for the full course.
We will be working with all media and each assignment will have options for wet or dry media so this way parents do not need to purchase all the art supplies needed unless they wish to. Art instruction wise, students will be introduced to basic art principles and drawing techniques including but not limited to composition, proportion, values and perspective. There will not be a lot of one-on-one time in this class, rather more independent study; however, the instructor is available throughout the course for any questions students may have while they work on their own time. This allows the flexibility needed for families and teens during these Covid times, and still make progress without added stress. We hope this turns out a good option for parents and teens!
Students will work in graphite, charcoal, pastels with option for paints for those who have them or wish to purchase them. We will work on still life, landscape, portraits as well as creative design. Lastly, we will have two 45-minute drawing sessions, one per 4-weeks to simulate audition time.

We know how hard it is to figure out color. It seems easy until you try it yourself. In this intro class, students will create a basic color wheel -- like in high school - remember that? We expect it's been a while since you've made a color wheel, if you've ever made one at all. We will also introduce a synopsis of color theory so the student may understand the way hues function when mixed together. This class is perfect to learn the basic principles of color theory while offering the explanation to its value for an artist. This is a must-know tool in every artist's knowledge box!
* students do not need to participate in making the color wheel but can simply tune into the lecture and demo portions and participate in the Q & A.
**exact materials list pending however, generally, artists will need acrylic paint in yellow, red, blue, white & black; a palette or plate to mix paint, a few brushes, a jar and paper towels - and a canvas board or canvas sheet to paint on if they choose to participate in color mixing.

This class is intended for students who truly are beginners with paint or have tried but can't seem to figure it out. What paints go together? What colors do you start with? How do they mix? What is an acrylic medium, how is it used and why do you need it? How do you create depth and dimension in paintings? How do you make it look "good enough"?! If any of these questions have lurked in your mind then this class has answers for you! Acrylic paint dries quickly so its technique works upon layering. Students will be introduced to six must know elements of acrylic painting while keeping the 101 skill level in mind as we work with simple still life painting. Students will build on each lesson wherein, by the end of six weeks, they will have gained confidence in the application of acrylic paint, mixing and blending techniques and determining correct values. This is a perfect course for any beginner painter.
