class descriptions

MAKE CLASSES – REGISTERED CLASSES 3-5 yrs Each week, students will read a story and make a project inspired by the illustrations, or artist/ designer on which the book is based. Projects will include but are not limited to painting, drawing, assemblage, collage, sculpture, and craft. 10 weeks of programming allows for some projects to carry over more than one week. allowing us to build larger more complex pieces. Process is the focus, as is exploration and fun.

6-8 yrs Like the 3-5 year old classes, but with a more concentrated focus on a particular artist or style of working. Students will be introduced to a number of different artists; and projects will be based on that artist and their works.
