SUMMARY:Digital Alchemy: The Art of the Edit (13-18)
DESCRIPTION:Evolve beyond standard presets and discover the limitless potential of the digital powerful lines of the historic railroad\, the vibrant character of unique storefronts\, and the hidden gardens tucked away among the city’s historic architecture. \nUsing your own smartphone or digital camera\, you’ll hunt for inspiration in everything from rusted textures to blooming nature. Back in the lab\, your digital device is just the beginning; you’ll learn to transfer your images to the desktop and use Krita’s professional-grade tools to deconstruct and reimagine your shots. \nWhether you are crafting surrealist dreamscapes\, painterly portraits\, or bold “glitch” art\, this week is about total creative independence and mastering the modern alchemy of digital expression. Capture the world in all its details; then\, entirely on your own canvas. \nAges 13-18 \nMonday – Friday\, 1-4 pm \nJuly 6-10 \nRegistration Fee: $285

SUMMARY:Visual Storytelling: Emotion\, Figure\, and Space
DESCRIPTION:This six-week painting course explores how narrative can be built through the relationship between figure\, environment\, and color. \nWorking in acrylic or oil\, students will develop one narrative painting from concept to completion\, beginning with brainstorming personal or imagined stories and translating them into visual form through thumbnail sketches and compositional planning. \nAs the course progresses\, students will focus on blocking in figures and spaces\, using gesture and body language to clarify meaning\, and exploring how color\, limited palettes\, and atmosphere can communicate emotion. \nThe final weeks emphasize refinement\, symbolism\, and visual cohesion\, culminating in a group critique centered on storytelling\, emotional readability\, and narrative impact. \nAll supplies will be provided via the supply fee. \nAges 13-18 \nTuesdays 6-8 pm \nJune 9 – July 14 \nRegistration Fee: $228
