Our focus for our 2nd and 3rd grade classes becomes more technical. Increased ability with fine motor skills means that we can do more detailed projects than when we were just Kindergarters! Our monthly projects focus around a particular medium and technique but the ACTUAL project created is completely up to the artist. We encourage risk-taking, mistake-making, and problem solving. Each month as a media focus as well as an artist focus...We study classic, modern, and contemporary art,
All the classes below meet on either Mondays at 5:00pm or Tuesdays at 6:00pm (4 classes). Artists may register for a SINGLE month, multiple months, or for the entire semester. $20.00 annual enrollment fee applied to all registrations, except Studio Club.
