​Students will use clay to produce hand-built and wheel-thrown ceramic pieces of their design. Minimum cost for materials is approximately $30.




This course will be an extension of those things learned in the Ceramics 1 class. Minimum cost for materials is $23.








​Sculpture 1 is a class for those who would like to create 3D art and enjoy working with their hands. We start with paper-mache and then move into clay, creating several projects including a whistle! We even dabble in relief carving and sculpting with wire and plaster! Join Sculpture 1 for unique art experience!




In Sculpture 2, we make so many awesome 3D projects! We make ceramic drums (with real goat skin!), the tape people made from packaging tape (do zombies and dinosaurs count as people?), kinetic sculptures that hang from the ceiling, and more! Sculpture 1 or Ceramics 1 is a prerequisite because we do advanced work with clay.

In Art Foundations, we do a little bit of everything! This course is for those who would like an art class that offers many opportunities to experience drawing, painting, sculpting, and collage. Students will create original works of art in all media areas using the principles and elements of design.



Students will use the basic techniques and skills relating to the use of watercolor and acrylics. Painting may also have mixed media; e.g., collage and various combinations of painting materials. Students will develop painting skills by creating many paintings throughout the semester, such as a monochromatic and abstract. The class fee provides each student with their own set of brushes, several canvases, and all the other materials provided in the classroom, i.e. paint.
​

​Don’t know how to draw? That’s OK! Learn how to in Drawing 1! In Drawing 1, students learn the basic skills necessary for drawing, e.g. drawing basic forms, shading (value), grids, negative space, etc. Students will engage in producing many works of art using multiple media including, but not limited to, graphite, charcoal, ink, linoleum, and scratch board. Students are encouraged to be creative and are often asked to select their own subject to draw.


​In Drawing 2 we take the skills we learned in Drawing 1 to the next level! We go bigger and bolder with our drawings and the media we use to create them. We also do in-class exercises to perfect our drawing skills. Drawing 2 students also have the opportunity to participate in the Memory Project, where they can draw a portrait for an orphan, as we always end our semester with portrait drawing.
