Youth Art Classes

Youth Art Classes at Art School Santa Fe are geared towards students ages 5-14. Classes are offered as group lessons or private instruction.

Framework

Because every student is unique and progresses on their art journey at their own pace, Students at Art School Santa Fe learn within a loose framework of lessons catering to their personal skill levels and progress. In any given class session, there is a blend of students each working on their own individual lessons at their own pace.

Beginner Basic Lessons: These lessons offer a large variety of basic skill building techniques for fine art. Students learn how to create compositions with the use of shapes, sketching, and lights and shadows. In these lessons students use pencils, chalk pastels, and colored pencils.

Intermediate Lessons: In these lessons we build on our foundational concepts and techniques and introduce watercolors, perspective, still life, and landscape painting. In these lessons we also explore imagination building and artistic voice in art creations.

Advanced Lessons: Concepts such as life drawing, portraits of animals and humans, tones, composition, linear perspective, landscape painting, still life painting, imagination, and artist voice are all used in these lessons. The mediums focused on in this time are charcoal and oil painting.
