Introduction to Acrylic Painting for Teens
Teen (Gr 7-12) | Registration opens 2/4/2026 10:00 AM
In this intro level course, students will work on their painting skills and learn about foundational art principles through a mix of in class projects. We will begin with still life setups and progress toward projects chosen by students to help them explore their own unique voices. Students will work on rendering skills while also learning about art history and contemporary painters through each exercise.
