ART EXPLORATION: WE ARE ARTISTS! (Early Elementary) (In-Person ONLY)
Grades K-1
SEPTEMBER 13-DECEMBER 10, 2021 (NO CLASS Thanksgiving Week Nov. 22-26) 12 WEEK SESSION
WEDNESDAYS, 3:30-5:00 PM 

More than just an “art class”, an “art STUDIO” is a PLACE to gather, create, work, learn, and share. We BEHAVE LIKE ARTISTS together. We explore WHAT artists DO. Our art STUDIO is where you do this important work! In addition to encouraging exploration and curating and presenting essential art skills to a group, I work with students individually in skill development and encouragement of personal ideas and process that inspire individual artmaking. Curriculum in our studio is often emergent and responsive to artists and their work.

For convenience and meeting shifting educational needs, my “studio” classes will be available in-person OR virtually for the Fall 2021 semester. I ran successful virtual classes last semester and will continue this format LIVE during my in-person classes. This allows for safety, convenience, flexibility, accessibility, and broader connection during this unprecedented time.

*Please note: it is important to make as informed a decision as possible when choosing your student's Community Resource classes. Most locations will allow a student to drop a class after one meeting, at no charge if it wasn't a good fit for the student, but not all. Some classes plan ahead based on the number that have signed up and have purchased materials, hired teachers, etc. and there might be a fee for class time or materials given to the student if the student drops after one or two meetings. The school cannot pay for classes that students do not complete, so choose wisely; if you do not take the class off of your student's schedule by the deadline, you may be asked to pay for the class time incurred prior to dropping the class.
