American Art is our theme this year! How has our history influenced our creativity? What contributions have Americans made to the art world, and where are we headed next? I've got some really fun projects planned, so I hope your kids can join us!
September
Native American Art - We will look at how the early people of North America made their own materials out of natural resources as students
experiment with making their own paint and tools. Younger students will use clay to make "story necklaces" while older students will make
leather bands with faux clay turquoise accents. All classes will also get to try their hand at sand painting.
2 weeks -$75 (includes all supplies). Classes will meet the weeks of 9/17 and 9/24.

October
Colonial Art - Younger students will do a group "quilt" project, where they can design patterned foam squares that can be displayed together,
then taken home as sections. Older students will learn a modern version of an old colonial art form...quilling (paper rolling). All students will
also get to do a reverse glass painting (younger students will use acrylic panes), a fun, unique way of painting from front to back, instead of back
to front.
2 weeks - $75 (includes all supplies). Classes will meet the weeks of 10/22 and 10/29
** No classes Oct. 1st through 19th.

Light in Darkness - The Great Depression was a dark time for Americans. People had to rely on each other, sometimes even for survival. This month, students will learn about the amazing art that came out of this time period, and create artwork of their own that they can share with others.
Younger students will make candles (one to keep, one to give away). Older students will make candle holders out of concrete (one to keep, one to give away).
2 weeks - $75 ($42 for students registered for entire semester (includes all supplies). *Classes will meet the weeks of 12/3 and 12/10.

to create their own design.
