"Fall Art Classes for Kids: Inspiring Young Artists in Ballard"

 Here's a quick peek at what my young artists have been creating this fall! From exploring new techniques to working on personal projects, it's been a joy watching their creativity grow. I offer a limited number of private classes to nurture budding artists in a personalized setting.

Taking inspiration from on of my favorite artists Yayoi Kasama

Using only primary colors this project covers composition, color theory, and painting from a still life.

Bug jars!!!

Block printing is always a favorite!

 If you have a young artist eager to dive deeper into their passion for art, I’d love to chat! I’m located in Ballard and am happy to discuss options for working together. Contact Ameen for more details and availability.

 The summer edition of art classes is happening:

Didn't plan ahead? 

Don't want a full camp?  

DO you just want something to fill a couple hours? 

This summer I am keeping the schedule pretty flexible. Scroll down and have a look at the last couple of blog posts for ideas of the projects we can do this summer. I am happy to work with your schedule to make some art this summer. Ameen for more details.

Color theory, composition, placement, proportion...this lesson has it all. Students will only have the 3 primary colors, black and white and will mix everything else!

I do the lessons with the students. In this particular session I chose yellow ochre, red and cobalt blue to demonstrate a how these colors mixed for the rest of the palette.

Setting up for the first round mixing our secondary colors.

The finished painting with tints in the openings of the vases, shades in the bases of the vases and complimentary colors mixed as tints for the background.

Week 1: All about color, a deep dive into color theory. With a limited palette of primary colors (and white)  students will mix secondary colors and tints  to create a 12x16 acrylic painting on canvas.

Week 2: Students choice! One of the benefits of private and small group sessions is that I can adapt projects to student interest. We get to know each other the first week and during the second week we build on skills based on their areas of interest.

Possible projects include:

-A variety of handmade artist books. Handmade art journal with good quality drawing paper. A mixed media consertina style book, paperbag cover stamped books and quick mini books to gift to friends.  

Large format relief print. Students work through all the planning stages from brain storming subject matter, gathering items in the studio to create a still life, thumbnail sketches, preliminary drawings, finished drawings and carving. Together we discuss the elements of design and how to create a strong composition. 

-Multi colored printed tiles

Students will learn about reduction printing method, radial symmetry and design with this relief printmaking project.
