ONLINE CLASSES

Ben King, adult student, oil painting, Adult Composite Class; Molly Dekarski, watercolor, age 15, Fundamentals Class; Sam Eiken, age 16, Character Design Class; Aaron Lipstein, age 17, Digital Illustration Class

We have found that Online classes are great for students who struggle to find the motivation to work on projects at home.
Everyone works on individual projects.
The online classes will be held via Zoom.
An invitation will be sent to participants 15 minutes before a class begins, with students entering the Zoom classroom 5 minutes before class time.
We will begin with hellos, followed by one-on-one introductory comments given on each project.
Throughout the class students may send photos of their work to their teacher via email.
Photos will be shared and analyzed by way of the screenshare feature on Zoom. This will give everyone the opportunity to learn from other students’ projects.
The class ends with an overview of projects and ideas for personalized homework if students desire to do it.
We realize that The Art Academy benefits students in two distinct ways. First, there is the instruction; but equally important is the informal interaction pupils have with fellow students and teachers. To that end, EVERY online class comes with a weekly Friday Night Hangout Session. The session runs from 6:30 pm to 7:30 pm.
a. These Sessions form a gathering of likeminded individuals to work on projects while casually enjoying the company of others.
b. There is always a teacher monitoring the session so students can get extra help with any challenges they may be experiencing in their artwork.
Students may also use the Hangout Sessions to make up any classes that have missed throughout the term.

When Art Academy student Fina Mooney was 14 she attended our Outdoor Landscape Camp for 13- to 18-year-olds. Here she is painting in Como Park, along with two of her 3-hour landscape sketches.

This camp is for students interested in learning and perfecting Plein Air (open air) oil painting.
It will include classroom sessions to gain an understanding of the basic techniques of prismatic color mixing and brush handling in oils.

Careful observation, good drawing and confidence in painting will be emphasized.
