Classes will be introduced with a lesson on the historical development of painting & drawing techniques. Students will explore the works of renowned artists, finding inspiration in their brushstrokes and visionary creations.

The journey begins with an Introduction to mark-making and tonal value/shading, and learners are taught the fundamental techniques to create depth and dimension in their drawings. Students will delve into the art of rendering three-dimensional shapes on paper.

Learners will also venture into the realm of Perspective, where they’ll gain a deeper understanding of spatial relationships and visual depth. Lessons in shapes will unlock the ability to construct complex forms, and students will build upon their newfound skills to create stunning 3D landscapes. At the same time, students will master the art of mixing colors and delve into basic color theory, unlocking the secrets to crafting captivating palettes.

Layering becomes a powerful tool as learners delve into acrylic paint, breathing life into their creations with depth and form. Natural landscapes and organic forms will be brought to life on the canvas, capturing the beauty of the world around us. Expressive acrylic landscape painting will delve into the realm of impressionism, where emotions and moods take center stage. Students will explore the art of capturing the essence of a scene, bringing it to life with every stroke.

The human face will come into focus as learners are taught techniques to render eyes, ears, and noses, honing their skills to portray the human form in all its beauty. Full-face portraits will be a testament to the power of art to capture the spirit and soul of its subjects.

Working with watercolor will open new possibilities, as learners explore the beauty of this fluid medium, mastering its transparency and delicacy. Chinese ink painting will add a touch of cultural richness to the artistic repertoire, allowing learners to discover the expressive beauty of this ancient art form.

Surrealism, expressionism, and cubism will ignite the imagination as learners dive into abstract forms and interpretations, exploring the depths of their creativity and pushing the boundaries of their artistry.

Are you a curious young learner who loves to build things, work with tools and let your imagination run wild? Our Junior Engineers class is perfect for you! In this course, learners will be introduced to the mechanics of motorized vehicles, launchers and building structures. Through a series of hands-on experiments and workshops, they will become more comfortable using the tools we have at the Lab and confident in their abilities to make their projects come to life. 

In the motorized vehicles portion of the class, learners will focus on the two main questions: what makes something roll well, and how can motors propel cars? After mastering simple electrical circuits to power their cars, they will move on to the increased challenge of constructing fan boats. Later on in the course, they will discover the physics of lifts and apply their knowledge to a variety of small plane projects.

In the launchers portion of the class, learners discover different ways to launch things. Beginning with torsion-powered devices, they are taught how to construct different launching mechanisms with twisted rope. They move on to launchers that work with suspended weight, and our instructors explain the technical names and functions of each part. After working with ancient launching techniques, learners begin constructing more modern launchers that use tiny springs.
