    Ballet 2/3

    by James School of Dance Arts

    McLean, VA

    This classical form of dance is derived from french terminology. Ballet focuses on specific feet and body facings both at the barre and in center work. Dancers will lean formalized steps, intricate movement patterns, and a wide variety of ballet vocabulary. At JSDA we believe ballet is the core of all dance and we strongly advise all students take ballet class as part of their growth and development as a dancer. At JSDA we do not focus on one specific ballet technique such as RAD, Cecchetti, or Vaganova- but incorporate all techniques into class.

    Drawing + Painting (12-16 years old)

    100%

    by Art Academia

    Foster City, CA

    Budding artists capturing multiple objects tend to begin with the largest or most attractive one first, finish it, and move on to the next. By studying multiple object composition, line and air perspective, as well as color mixing, students learn to depict multiple three-dimensional objects and build a solid foundation for future artistic study. Our academic method of teaching will open the eyes and minds of aspiring artists to see the myriad of colors and tones in everyday objects. With these foundational skills, students will learn techniques to express their creativity. Classes alternate between Drawing and Painting on a weekly basis. All skill levels welcome. Students will learn to draw and paint multiple objects as a group taking into account proportions, depth, structures, along with light and shadows. Using acrylic or oil, students will flex these core principles of composition to attain the freedom to draw and paint three-dimensional still-life, landscapes and fictional paintings. Procuring painting and drawing materials are the responsibility of each student, but we are of course happy to advise which ones we think are best.
