This fine arts class is intended for students who have intermediate drawing skills and are looking to learn more sophisticated artistic techniques. Students in the Mastering Art class are ready to advance their skills to create more three-dimensionality and realism in their work. Projects include animals, nature, still life, cartoons, human form, various master artists and landscapes. Emphasis is placed on shading, perspective, composition and developing finished pieces. Students will be encouraged to develop their own style and creative approach.

Students begin taking more risks and venture on their own as they learn to master techniques and media.
They will gain confidence and self-esteem in their drawing abilities and in themselves. Guidance is
provided on an "as needed" basis, as we lead students through the decision-making process involved in
creating art. To honor and celebrate each child's learning, students are invited to participate in our
Spring Art Walk.
