Drawing Classes in New Haven, CT

With spring on the rise, we're welcoming some warmer weather with this delicate butterfly sculpture. Students will transform their drawings into 3D flowers as they cut and craft, challenging their dexterity with a tactile approach. Once their art is in full bloom, we’ll top it off with a beautiful butterfly, letting each student's creativity take flight as they learn about this amazing endangered species.

We’re starting a wild rumpus this week for Maurice Sendack, a beloved children's book illustrator best known for his work “Where the Wild Things Are”. One of the most celebrated authors in children's book history, Sendak is credited for pioneering a more realistic portrayal of childhood and the scope of children's emotions. Students will focus on line and form with this illustrative ink drawing inspired by Sendack’s detailed and expressive style. Encouraging storytelling through images, they will have the opportunity to add their own embellishments as they depict this playful monster.

Here at The Giggling Pig we aim to foster each child's unique style, so this week we will be focusing on YOU with self portraits. Students will broaden their concepts of value and light with graphite, focusing on various blending and drawing techniques to achieve different results with the same pencil. This monotone project will challenge students to look beyond color to capture their likeness with every stroke.

Join us this week for an immersive spring drawing! Students will learn different approaches for texture as they experiment with oil pastel to create this adorable pup.
