Other Details
Learning Needs
All of our teachers have experience working with students who have unique learning needs. We want and welcome all students in our classroom. Our number one goal is to help all children feel like they have a place with their fellow artists.
Parental Guidance
Learners will be guided to use age appropriate characters only. No gamer tags are needed and art will only be shared within the classroom. This is strictly an art class. We will not be playing any of the video games in this class. The teacher might pull up a reference photo of different characters to help give students ideas.
Supply List
Traditional artists will need: Pencils, pencil sharpeners, plenty of paper or a sketchbook, erasers, markers/crayons/colored pencils Digital artists will need: Some sort of tablet (Ipad/Wacom/Cintiq) that is fully charged and a drawing program (Photoshop, Procreate, Krita, etc.)
