Pen & Mouse Design House Inc. Your Creative Solutions Team!
About Our Classes: The Club House Artists Series has been developed for on-going art instruction for all ages. The goal is for beginner and advance artists to feel comfortable in any series with all levels together. This is possible with the class structure and lessons. It's not necessary to take the previous series or even the first series when wanting to learn hot to draw.
Club House Artists learn the basic fundamentals of drawing. They learn "tool box" words, like horizon line, size, shading, contour, foreshortening, etc. to make their drawings look 3-Dimensional and alive. Each class will review the important "tool box" words and each session Club House Artists can practice the technique and then take it to the next level!
We also focus on repetition of basic shapes. This process helps the students recognize that all objects are based off of basic 3D shapes.
We also assign weekly homework assignments. The Club House Artists are asked to continue practicing their 3D drawings and to fill the page with a great story in 3D. After two weeks of completed homework drawings they earn rewards. Rewards are also handed out during every class for participation and remembering their "tool box" words.
