Dynamic Design square crop advertisement. 8 week session, April 30 & May 1, purple and yellow pop art style

Instructor: Shelby Dawn Smith

In this 8-week session of art classes for children ages 6-9, we will explore design elements like pattern, symmetry, rhythm, and balance through a combination of two- and three-dimensional art projects.  The lessons will span a variety of artistic media and techniques including: drawing, painting, collage, origami, and printmaking. Participants will also learn about contemporary and historical artists that exemplify some of these design elements in their artworks.  Projects will include:

  • Paisley Perfection — a closer look at the origins and history of this teardrop-shaped motif popular in textile design through a mixed media project.

  • Repeat Patterns — inspired by William Morris, participants will learn how to turn any drawing into a repeat pattern.

  • Tessellations — how to make repeating “tiles,” inspired by M.C. Escher.

  • Comics as Art — a look at the art of Roy Lichtenstein, an artist who turned comic books into fine art.

  • Op Art — how to create optical illusions.

  • Notans — a Japanese term meaning “light-dark harmony.”

  • Origami Mandalas — exploring balance and radial symmetry through the art of paper folding.

  • Painting Music — interpreting rhythm and music through abstract painting, inspired by Paul Klee.

The course will run Tuesdays from 4:30-5:30pm from April 30 – June 18, 2024.The cost to register for this 8-week class is $225 (no tax), or $202.50 (no tax) for MUSE members. Limited to 12 participants. All materials are supplied.
