VIRTUAL ART STUDIO FORMAT                                                                                             
More than just an “art class”, an “art STUDIO” is a PLACE to gather, work, learn, and share...and we are doing it virtually! 
This allows for safety, convenience, flexibility, accessibility, and broader/consistent connection during this unprecedented time. 
Each week, I will be facilitating art classes through ”Ms. VPC’s ‘Virtual’ Art Studio” from my home art studio, Starlight Studio, in Three Oaks, Michigan.

In addition to 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 art making.
 
Registered students will have private access to the Google Classroom platform we will be using at any time during the week. 
Here we will LEARN...I will post both recorded media demos and hold scheduled “live” media demos. 
Here we will EXPLORE….inspirations, ideas, artwork, artists, and “virtual field trips”.
Here we will GATHER and SHARE....students can respond, post, and share thoughts and artwork.
Here we will WORK….”Open Studio Times” will be scheduled for us to come together virtually with supplies and artwork to work together.
