Homeschool Art Class - Leaf Compositions: Drawing and Painting Techniques


  • City Hall - Arts Council Room 32905 West 84th Street De Soto, KS, 66018 United States (map)

Join us for this popular art class for homeschoolers! Diana Zwhalen, a retired art teacher, uses her warm personality and decades of experience to bring joy to the process of creating art! She's great at choosing projects that work for a wide variety of skill levels, PLUS she knows the kinds of art kids love to do.

In this class:
We will be using acrylic paint on canvas 8"x10" to make a composition of leaves on canvas.

  • Students will learn to mix colors to represent the color of leaves.

  • Students should bring leaves they collect.

  • Students will need a paint shirt or apron.

  • We will use colored pencils and paper to create a rough draft composition before painting.

  • Each student will be given an 8"x10" canvas for painting.

Dates: Oct. 8th-10th Please note that this class is THREE days long!

Times: 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM each day

Cost: $25.00 per student
