In this 8 week class, learners will create artwork inspired by 8 different sea animals. The first class will start with introductions, and the beginning of each class thereafter will start with a review of what was covered in the week before. Each lesson will be taught in a directed drawing style to aid those who are not yet confident in their skills. However, after the learners have completed the demonstrated steps, they will be encouraged to make their art unique and personal to them. If time permits, at the end of class all students will share their artwork with the class.

Not only will we make colorful artwork, but students will also introduced to drawing, painting, collage, and multi media techniques. Students will learn art vocabulary such as mosaic, crayon resist, and frottage (texture rubbing). Learners will also be exposed to the artwork of Antoni Gaudi and his colorful mosaics.
