Pop Art: Studio artists will be all about the food in this 6 week session that reimagines the work of artists such as Wayne Thiebaud and Andy Warhol. Students will explore both 2D and 3D methods to create their own pop art food inspired artworks.

The Artist Toolbox: Texture: Get inspired by artists like MC Escher, Frida Kahlo, Salvatore Dali and Leonardo Davinci as we explore the best methods to make textures a part of your art toolbox. Learn how and where to include texture, shading and highlights. Work in a variety of media, including pen, pencil, colored pencils, charcoal and scratch board.

The Artist Toolbox: Color: Take a deep dive into the ways artists use colors to move your eye across a canvas to capture your undivided attention. Discover the color plan behind a Wayne Thiebaud cake painting, and learn how Picasso uses limited color to give focus to his work. Every artwork begins with a powerful, well-conceived color scheme. Create artwork using colored pencils, pastels, oil pastels and more.
