Traditions Education Program
Module A
Introduction
Traditions Education Program
The Tradtions
Education Program is a comprehensive learning program in steps.
Lessons
are closely linked to each other to reinforce skills, knowledge and
confidence.
Language and techniques have been standardized as has detailed
explanation of art theory.
Learning objectives for each lesson provide a
standard to be achieved
before moving forward. Bridges to fine art make
this program valuable to all visual artists
Individual projects help
participants make visual and technical connections
to transferable
skills and knowledge where it be in the area of colour theory,
painting
techniques or art principles including history and symbolism
of
particular art genres and styles of painting.
Module A builds the artist’s foundation through the
correct use of tools,
language of colour, and mixing, while stressing the
mechanics of brush
control required for all styles, including landscape
painting.
Each of the ten lessons builds momentum as students
are
introduced in the challenges of learning perspective and
colour
control, all of which leads
to greater artistic confidence and
competence.
I have scheduled 10 classes for Module A,
we
may need to increase depending upon our ability
to get through the
lessons sucessfully.
Each additonal class will be $20.00 per
evening.
