Paint, Play & Create: A 6-Week Painting Adventure
Over the course of six weeks, students will jump into a colorful painting adventure where they can experiment, discover, and build confidence as young artists. Through watercolor, tempera, and acrylic painting, students will explore color mixing, brush techniques, texture, layering, pattern, and composition while creating their own unique works of art. Each week introduces new materials and techniques, encouraging students to try something new, make creative choices, and discover that there is more than one way to make a great painting.
Most importantly, this class is about giving children the freedom to explore their imagination and express their ideas through art. Students will learn to trust their creative instincts, solve artistic problems, and take pride in their individual choices. By the end of the six weeks, each student will have created a collection of original paintings while developing new skills, greater confidence, and an understanding that mistakes and experimentation are an important part of the creative process.
Week 1: Watercolor Wonderlands
Introduce watercolor basics: loading the brush, water-to-paint ratios, wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, and color mixing. Students create an imaginative landscape—perhaps a magical forest, outer space, underwater world, or fantasy place.
Week 2: Underwater Worlds
Explore transparent layers and blending. Students create colorful underwater scenes with fish, coral, sea plants, bubbles, and other creatures. This gives them a chance to experiment with watercolor without worrying about making things "realistic."
Week 3: Colorful Creatures
Move into tempera paint. Introduce primary/secondary colors and mixing. Students invent an animal by combining different shapes and features, then paint it with bold colors.
Week 4: Painted Garden
Explore texture and mark-making. Students experiment with different brushes and unconventional tools—sponges, cotton swabs, cardboard, fingers, etc.—to create flowers and plants. They can build an entire imaginary garden.
Week 5: Mini Masterpieces
Introduce acrylic paint and the idea of working in layers. Students paint a simple still life or landscape. This is a good week to talk about foreground, middle ground, and background in an age-appropriate way.
Week 6: My Big Painting
Students get more independence. They choose what they want to paint and use techniques from the previous five weeks.
*Dual Language provided and encouraged!
Closed for Private Event
Please note: HMA will be closed to gallery visitors November 6–10 for a private event and our regularly scheduled closure. We look forward to welcoming you back on Wednesday, November 11!

Teen Drawing (Beginners): Middle/High School (Session 2)
October 6, 13, 20, 27 (4 Classes Included)
$125 | $100 Members
This beginner-friendly teen drawing workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of figure drawing in a supportive, creative environment. We begin by learning how to build a strong foundation using simple skeletal structures, helping students understand proportion, balance, and movement. As the class progresses, we gradually develop these frameworks into full figures, exploring form, gesture, and basic anatomy. By the end of the workshop, students will feel more confident bringing their drawings to life, with a deeper understanding of how the human body is constructed and expressed through art. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to learn! Bring a sketchbook, but all other materials will be provided

This beginner-friendly teen drawing workshop introduces students to the fundamentals of figure drawing in a supportive, creative environment. We begin by learning how to build a strong foundation using simple skeletal structures, helping students understand proportion, balance, and movement. As the class progresses, we gradually develop these frameworks into full figures, exploring form, gesture, and basic anatomy. By the end of the workshop, students will feel more confident bringing their drawings to life, with a deeper understanding of how the human body is constructed and expressed through art. No prior experience is needed — just curiosity and a willingness to learn! Bring a sketchbook, but all other materials will be provided
Middle/High School Teen Drawing | Intermediate (Session 3)
September 10th, 17th, and 24th (3 Classes Included)

The focus shifts to improving accuracy, capturing gesture and motion more fluidly, and developing a stronger sense of anatomy and form. Students will explore techniques for adding depth, detail, and personal style, while building confidence in drawing more complex poses. This level is ideal for those who are comfortable with basic proportions and ready to advance their figure drawing skills. Bring a sketchbook, but all other materials will be provided.
