Drawing & Painting: Foundations for Young Artists

Nellie Shevelkina

Young People Class: All Levels

Creativity meets skill-building for young artists!

In this class, students will develop foundational drawing and painting skills through fun, focused exercises. Using pencils, pastels, watercolor, and paint, we’ll explore key concepts like composition, color, line, and value. The goal is to develop strong observational skills, artistic confidence, and hand–eye coordination in a supportive, creative environment. Together, we’ll learn to see like an artist.

Tuition for this class includes a fee of $20 for basic materials provided by CAW.

School Policies
