​(Choose from Multimedia, Clay OR drawing)
In this high school class, students will have an opportunity for Independent Study.  We will offer access to all materials in the studio (including clay hand-building and wheel throwing). We wanted to be able to offer a class so that all of the kids can still gather together, but also create art together, which all unites them. :)
We have designed this class to be more of an independent study. Students will meet with a teacher to design projects for the session (6 classes). They will have a teacher showing techniques each class and check in individually during each class, as a progress check in, and help keep time & progress. They will have access to all materials in the studio to use, and create pieces that reflect what they would like to learn and design.
Some students will work on a clay project, while others will paint with watercolors. All will be grouped in the same space, so they can interact, but create what they want.
This combination class offers students a sampling of art projects using various media such as painting, clay, watercolors, collage, and pastels.
