Friday FUN Days (Non-Sectarian)
GRADES: 3rd - 8th
STARTS: Feb-May
COST: 5 FRIDAYS for $155
TIMES: 3:00-5:00 p.m.
Students will be coached progressively in their drawing and painting skills rather than copying step by step drawings or paintings. Students choose their own images to work from within the given theme. The first two days they will understand the art elements as they practice matching colors by mixing a color wheel (COLOR), using blending skills (VALUE), prep the canvas, and re-draw the image (LINE, SHAPE, FORM, SPACE). The next three days they will do a first layer of paint, building up to the value and details applying their new skills while incorporating any nuances of TEXTURE as they add their unique style to the painting.

COVID PRECAUTIONS
-
Pre-Screening & Masks
We will ask parents upon registration to notify us if there is an Covid exposure or symptoms prior to each class. If necessary in an outbreak we will use screening questions. But provided that there are no symptoms, parents will be able to decide whether their child uses a mask or not.
-
Distance & Quarantine Time
Upon request, we can seat families together, or separate individuals to provide distance if we know in advance you have a specific need. If you have been exposed to Covid, we ask you quarantine for at least 5 days, or until you have a negative test result, and contact us if Heart Ink families were exposed. We will keep your health information confidential during any exposure.
-
Cleaning Procedures
We will clean tables, doorknobs and other surfaces before each class with alcohol spray. Used student supplies will be placed in a separate cleaning tub at the end of each class for cleaning. Art materials will not be handled by more than that specific student during each lesson.
