The Power of Drawing - Young Rembrandts
Train your brain to see with "The Power of Drawing!"
Learning to see and create images is recognized as essential to a child’s development of critical, cognitive brain-training skills. By deconstructing and reconstructing images using a variety of engaging and relevant subjects, students experience increased levels of mastery and confidence while having tons of fun! No lesson is ever repeated.
Fall is in full swing at Young Rembrandts, as we present drawing lessons that encompass a fascinating world of color, pattern, and design. Students will strengthen their visual skills as they render a detailed gumball machine. Then, building upon the layers of a sandwich, they will make a mouth watering composition! We become a part of the ancient Egyptian culture, creating a pharaoh’s decorative headdress. Then a fun but unique still life of a video game will be rendered, showing off its accessories. A powerful illustration celebrating the fall season will introduce our artists to the valuable relationship of colors. Every child can learn exciting and empowering new visual skills that benefit them for life!
Please see flyer below for more information!
