The young artist will get to go more in-depth and at leisure the many facets of doing art. Possible projects include: making a mask of their own face and creating a mold out of it, the process of free-hand drawing and creating characters and a storyline in a gag-a-day comic strip, painting from nature, amongst other activities. There is a focus on technique and skill but more importantly the development and etiquette of expression, the “why” of doing art.
Earthfire presents an intuitive model for the process of learning, creativity, problem-solving and original thinking. The goal is for the student to make their own projects as they develop a feel for the materials and explore their creative voice.
