SUMMARY:Art Classes for Ages 7-11
DESCRIPTION:In this session the focus is on the Line……a moving point\, a dot that goes for a walk which can vary in length\, width\, direction and curvature. The alphabet is composed of lines so projects will include each child’s name and letters of the alphabet as a focus for designing an Egyptian Cartouche where children use the hieroglyphic alphabet to sketch the symbols that represent the letters or sounds of their names.  Their names will also be designed into a colorful drawing as they review color theory: primary\, secondary\, warm\, cool\, complimentary & tertiary colors. Using their knowledge of color theory and lines they will create an abstract crayon-resist watercolor painting connecting the letters of the alphabet. They’ll practice more line drawings as they learn to draw word art animals and finally design a poster with a short positive message and illustrations to help spotlight their message. \n April 8\, 2026 – May 13\, 2026\n 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm \nAll classes are held on Wednesdays\, 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM at Spectrum Gallery\, 61 Main Street\, Centerbrook.  Cost is $125 per child.  Dates are as follows: April 8\, April 22\, April 29; May 6\, May 13.

SUMMARY:Art Classes for Ages 7-11
DESCRIPTION:In this session the focus is on the Line……a moving point\, a dot that goes for a walk which can vary in length\, width\, direction and curvature. The alphabet is composed of lines so projects will include each child’s name and letters of the alphabet as a focus for designing an Egyptian Cartouche where children use the hieroglyphic alphabet to sketch the symbols that represent the letters or sounds of their names.  Their names will also be designed into a colorful drawing as they review color theory: primary\, secondary\, warm\, cool\, complimentary & tertiary colors. Using their knowledge of color theory and lines they will create an abstract crayon-resist watercolor painting connecting the letters of the alphabet. They’ll practice more line drawings as they learn to draw word art animals and finally design a poster with a short positive message and illustrations to help spotlight their message. \n April 8\, 2026 – May 13\, 2026\n 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm \nAll classes are held on Wednesdays\, 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM at Spectrum Gallery\, 61 Main Street\, Centerbrook.  Cost is $125 per child.  Dates are as follows: April 8\, April 22\, April 29; May 6\, May 13.

SUMMARY:Art Classes for Ages 7-11
DESCRIPTION:In this session the focus is on the Line……a moving point\, a dot that goes for a walk which can vary in length\, width\, direction and curvature. The alphabet is composed of lines so projects will include each child’s name and letters of the alphabet as a focus for designing an Egyptian Cartouche where children use the hieroglyphic alphabet to sketch the symbols that represent the letters or sounds of their names.  Their names will also be designed into a colorful drawing as they review color theory: primary\, secondary\, warm\, cool\, complimentary & tertiary colors. Using their knowledge of color theory and lines they will create an abstract crayon-resist watercolor painting connecting the letters of the alphabet. They’ll practice more line drawings as they learn to draw word art animals and finally design a poster with a short positive message and illustrations to help spotlight their message. \n April 8\, 2026 – May 13\, 2026\n 4:00 pm – 5:30 pm \nAll classes are held on Wednesdays\, 4:00 PM – 5:30 PM at Spectrum Gallery\, 61 Main Street\, Centerbrook.  Cost is $125 per child.  Dates are as follows: April 8\, April 22\, April 29; May 6\, May 13.
