Grow and refine your skills in this two-week, project-driven intensive. Drawing will be taught using observation as a means of investigating line, contour, negative space, volume, light, and composition, and students will work with a wide array of media. We will use oil paint to learn color theory and continue to explore composition, color, and technique. Students will also gain valuable insights through one-on-one portfolio discussions, and will complete between three to five paintings and several drawings.
Our Visual Arts classes do not require any type of assessment or portfolio to get into the program. Instructors will work with your child at the level that they are at. Your child will improve and learn new skills whether they are a beginner or have been an artist for years.

Explore the uniquely classic Hopi technique of silver overlay metalsmithing. Silver overlay, as a technique for conveying traditional Hopi designs in silver, originated in 1938 from drawings produced at the Museum of Northern Arizona. Later, Fred Kabotie (Hopi), a noted former Idyllwild Arts faculty, taught this technique for World War II veterans' classes held from 1947-1951 in Arizona.
