In this Weekly Ongoing class, students will create a variety of artworks, learning new techniques and experimenting with different art mediums and is organized by Unit.   We will create art that is inspired by different artists' styles or subjects, while developing skills and craftsmanship along the way!  We will have a lot of fun too!

My learners will be engaged in hands-on learning activities and get to interact with myself and each other in every class meeting.  The structure of this class is a combination of teacher guided instruction, demonstration, independent practice and interacting with each other through discussion.  The classroom space is inclusive, one in which each student will feel safe, understood, respected and valued.  

*Siblings and/or co-learners must be enrolled to attend and participate in the class.

A few of the wonderful  benefits of making art:

• Helps us connect to their feelings.
• Gets us expressing without the mind interfering with thoughts like, “I can’t draw.”
• Heightens intuitive awareness.
• Gives us confidence to do art at home anytime.
• Helps us to experiment with different media with out fearing they will make a mistake or do it wrong.
