Pirates Workshop

Ages: 6 – 12

Instructor: YR Staff

Location: Meridian Community Center

Min/Max: 5/15

Ahoy mates! Join us as we travel the high seas and the world of pirates with new drawing adventures. Pirates, sunken treasures, parrots, a grand pirate ship and more will inspire us as we draw, using cartoon and realistic drawing techniques. Students will love drawing our playful, expressive characters and will complete several drawings each day. The final class will show you all they have learned over the week when they complete one large scene.

Even More Magnificent Masters Workshop (Pastels)

Ages: 6 – 12

Instructor: YR Staff

Location: Meridian Community Center

Min/Max: 5/15

This pastel art workshop will focus on five different artists. Each day, we will create a large, original pastel drawing replicating a famous artist’s masterpiece. We will draw a colorful goldfish bowl as Henri Matisse did in his Goldfish painting. On day two, we will recreate Vincent Van Gogh’s famous Starry Night. On day three, we will create powerful still life full of robust color as Paul Cezanne often did. Day four will find us drawing Andre Derain’s Portrait of Matisse. On the final day, we will draw as Thiebald did for his Cake Paintings. No pastel experience necessary. (Please wear an old shirt as pastels can be messy.)
