Beginner Art with Mrs. Reyes

ABOUT
Our Beginner Art class is for students enrolled in Kindergarten - Grade 5 at Pacific Academy for the 2025/2026 school year. Students will be introduced to traditional painting and drawing as well as explore mix media ideas such as print making, cyanotype printing, and 3D modeling with clay. Students will learn basic colour theory and mix colours with the 12 basic colours as well as paint with shapes. Basic techniques about how to use oil pastels and creating texture with them will also be taught. This class is perfect for students with little to no experience. Students will be required to bring a set of basic supplies (see below).
