Adventures in Ink for Middle and High School Aged Students

After school Art Adventures for Middle and High School Aged Artists
4:00 -5:30pm, every Tuesday
Students are welcome to arrive between 3:30 and 4pm.
During the month of October, young creatives will explore the fundamentals of ink drawing through a fun and engaging series of hands-on activities. Inspired by the spirit of Inktober, participants learn essential techniques such as line work, shading, hatching, cross-hatching, and brush and pen control.
Each week focuses on a different theme or prompt to spark creativity, encouraging creatives to experiment with various styles and tools including dip pens, fineliners, and ink washes.

Every Tuesday Middle and High school aged artists will explore their interests in drawing and painting, enjoying a series of projects that will expand their skills and proficiency in a variety of mediums under the guidance of artist and education Aubrey Jewel Rodgers. Students can attend every week, or when as their schedule allows. While this list might change to follow student's interests as the class develops, below is an outline of monthly project themes.
