Creative Canvas 2 (7-12)
Grade: 7 - 12 Min: 4 Max: 12 (12 seats remaining)
Min Assistants: 1 Max Assistants: 1 (1 seat remaining)
Designed for students ready to stretch their skills, this class builds on the foundation of Creative Canvas (4th–6th grade) with all-new projects and slightly more advanced techniques. While the format remains approachable and guided, students will take on artwork that encourages greater detail, creativity, and artistic confidence. Using acrylic paints, paint pens, and mixed-media materials, we’ll create vibrant pieces step by step — layering each painting from background to foreground in a way that makes even more complex results feel achievable. Students will work on a variety of surfaces, including stretched canvases and canvas boards ranging from 8x10 to 16x20, and explore embellishments that add texture and personality. Come ready to challenge yourself, grow your skills
Aside from demonstrations, the class period will mainly be work time. Projects will be broken down into steps each week and the student should be able to complete each part during the class period. Occasionally, a project might need to be completed at home (i.e. if a student is absent or is falling behind).
