Drawing & Painting: Foundations for Young Artists

Nellie Shevelkina

Young People Class: All Levels

Creativity meets skill-building for young artists!

Young artists discover the basics of drawing and painting through playful, hands-on projects that make learning exciting. Using pencils, pastels, watercolor, and paint, they’ll explore composition, color, line, and value while developing strong observational skills and artistic confidence. Each activity builds coordination and creativity.  Together, students will learn to see the world like an artist.

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