The Art Program at Imani Music School provides learners with a structured and creative environment to explore drawing, painting, illustration, crafts and visual storytelling. Designed for both children and adults, the program accommodates learners seeking either foundational artistic skills or advanced development in fine art and design techniques.
The beginner curriculum introduces line drawing, shape construction, shading basics and color theory. Students learn how to observe and reproduce objects, faces and scenery with proper proportion and perspective. Activities include sketching from real-life subjects, drawing from imagination and replicating simple reference images to build confidence and visual understanding.
Intermediate modules expand into watercolor, acrylic painting, charcoal rendering and mixed-media techniques. Learners study light and shadow, texture creation, brush control and layered color application. They begin creating thematic pieces such as landscapes, portraits, cultural scenes and abstract compositions, depending on personal style direction.
Advanced learners are guided into stylistic refinement, concept development and portfolio building. They may explore digital art, illustration, fabric painting, canvas texture design or commercial art skills for branding and merchandise. Students interested in selling artwork or pursuing design careers may receive mentorship in presentation, framing, pricing and exhibition preparation.
Throughout the program, students are encouraged to express individuality while learning disciplined craft execution. Group critiques, guided exercises and creative challenges help learners grow both technically and artistically.
Basic materials may be supplied for introductory lessons. Students are later advised on appropriate tools to purchase depending on their specialization.
