Open Arts I,  Ages 5 ½-8 & Ages 8-14
The Open Arts Drawing Method is a simple technique for drawing that gives students the ability to easily recognize the curves, angles and shapes in everything they see. Once they understand these concepts, they are able to recreate what they see into drawings on paper. Our drawing method is taught to the appropriate age and ability level of each class. Subject matter and mediums will vary in order to allow for progressive learning experiences.  Students progress from simple contour images to 3 dimensional subjects.
