Our curriculum is based on the elements of art: Line, Color, Shape, Form, Texture, Value and Space. Our lessons will also be deeply rooted in Art History and learning about the masters of the past. Throughout the year we will be inspired by the great masters and the 7 Elements of Art to create, not only amazing pieces of art, but also art scholars!  I am so excited to be sharing another year with our artists of Torrey Pines!
