Fine Arts AcademyEntering grade 3 as of September 1, 2024, through grade 8. Students will be split up and placed in groups based on age.
This program is based on one of the HCA's most popular programs because it covers a little of everything relating to art making. Drawing, watercolors, acrylic, pastel, mixed media, pen, and ink.
Every week, the students will be inspired by that week's theme. In the morning, students will focus on drawing foundations and observational drawing and learn new techniques. Students will study proportion and composition to draw various people, objects, and landscapes. Students will complete the fun with gestural drawing exercises and longer durational studies. The afternoons focus on that week's focus, where students will learn about different artists and make work inspired by those artists and their chosen mediums.
