Children and Teens enjoy learning how to become better artists At Rosemarie Morelli Art Studio School. Summer Art Workshop Weeks offer students both group and individual instruction in Drawing, Painting and Illustration. The relaxed-structured classes allow students to work on their main project of their choosing at their own speed. Individual instruction is provided to guide each student’s level of ability to a better understanding of art. Each day includes a fun, short group activity designed to inspire and focus; teach a “how to…” art technique; and build the fundamental skills necessary to improve their drawing and painting while exploring the elements of landscapes, seascapes, still life objects, portrait, anatomy, animals and fantasy characters. Students create artworks in their choice of media: oil, acrylic and watercolor paints; pastels; pen & ink; color pencil; charcoal; conte crayons; graphite; and 3D multi-media materials including plaster, modeling clay, papers, fabrics, and textiles.

Rosemarie Morelli Art Studio School provides a fun and supportive learning environment for children and teens of all skill levels. The studio classroom is equipped with drafting tables and easels; stocked with quality fine art supplies; offers a bright and safe workspace; air-conditioned; and has convenient off-street parking for easy drop off and pick up with direct entry into the 1st floor studio. Students will also be outside for outdoor group sketch activities.

Illustrating the Imaginative Scene – Students who wish to take on a multi-step, week-long project, will learn the process of creating an illustration scene transformed from their imagination or literature concept. This includes planning and designing a storyboard sketch used to direct the final rendering of the finished artwork.  With the aid of understanding traditional art fundamentals, students will learn how to research and use the right images and/or the setting up of objects under the right lighting to create a more realistic and unified scene of people, animals or mythological creatures interacting in an imaginative environment. Illustration may be rendered in any media including paint

Students work in their choice of media: Oil*, Acrylic, Watercolor Paints; Pastels, Pen & Ink, Color Pencil, Conte Crayon or Charcoal. *Oil paint restricted to age 12+ or instructor’s discretion.
