Studio 4 is a place for young artists to experience painting and drawing in a student-driven, studio setting. Brainstorming techniques will be used to create themes and compositions. The young artist will learn how to use their imagination in a group dynamic – as well as individually – and will create art at their own pace, enjoying the atmosphere of an artists’ studio.

Studio 4 the Young Artist is a fun way to experience and introduce different ways to create art. At the end of the session, we will hold a gallery show for all students to showcase art they created.

“What I like about Studio 4 at The Center on Central is that Joe can give you good ideas when you need help”
Bradley, age 12

“I believe the children in my classes have so much fun because they choose the subject and/or theme of their pieces, which lets them stay focused longer on whatever they are creating”
Joe Shawn, instructor

Studio 4 is a place for young artists to experience painting and drawing in a studio setting. Drawings will be made and color techniques applied to sketches. A free flowing, aggressive painting style will be encouraged to promote confident brushwork, and to overcome the fear of making mistakes. We will occasionally explore other media, such as collage and texture techniques.

Awesome Acrylics is the next step in Studio 4. Artists learn additional techniques on composition, color theory, and painting steps to build a great painting.

Since artists always begin with a plan, we will work with numerous thumbnails, blocking-in shapes, color and end with harmonizing the completed work. Our young artists will learn to slow down and think before painting, and gain confidence in their ability to blend their innate creativity with execution of learned skills.
