Workshops- Kids 4-day

Tim offers 4-day workshops for kids ages 9-18; sessions run 3 hours each day. In a fun and challenging environment, Tim takes kids beyond paint-by-number to truly learn how to see and respond creatively to the world around us. Each workshop has a theme to help students grasp a particular skill:

• Introduction to Fundamentals I and II. Children will be introduced to drawing and skills, value, color, perspective, and painting technique in these workshops. Intense, fun, and hands-on learning.
• Focus on Painting. Building on these topics introduced in Fundamentals I & II, kids will learn about the primary importance of understanding light and shade (values) in art and the visual world, and an introduction to color theory.
• Focus on Color. Have you ever wondered what color to paint “flesh”? This is an exciting workshop that really opens kids’ eyes up to the wondrous world of color. Tim uses practical tools to help his students move from being intimidated by color to painting boldly.
• Focus on Landscape Painting. Kids will join Tim under the blue skies for this workshop as they discover the invigorating experience of painting the beautiful colors of the outdoors.
• Focus on Portraits. Children love to draw faces, and Tim gives them tools and tips on drawing faces. Kids will practice by drawing portraits of fellow students. A lot of fun and smiles.
• Focus on the Masters. Children learn a bit of art history as they create their own copy of a painting by a master artist such as Monet, Degas, da Vinci, and others. An age-old practice that can be continued at home.
