파이프 클리너 동물! - 예술 및 공예 클럽

This class meets once a week for 40 minutes at a time. It is an ongoing course on an 10 week long rotation. Learners have the opportunity to "jump in" at any time, regardless of the week, and may complete as many classes as they wish, as we will be learning a variety of new animals each class. Because this is an ongoing course, your learner will be automatically enrolled each week (like a subscription) until you choose to cancel, which you may do at any time.

Each class will begin with an ice-breaker question so students can get to know a little bit about their fellow learners and to create a friendly, comfortable atmosphere where students can enjoy creating and making new friends. We will share any previous experience we have with creating art from pipe cleaners, and students may have the opportunity to share any previously created pieces to help inspire fellow learners.

We will focus on creating several animals each week from pipe cleaners. Students will have the opportunity to create as much or as little as they desire in class. They may focus on one particular piece, or they may choose to create many different pieces! My goal is for each and every student to learn how to create something new and to have fun in class. I will walk students through some (or all) of the animals from the list, depending on time permitting. Each learner will have the option to join in creating the animal I demonstrate, or they may choose to create their own variation and put their own "twist" on it.

At the end of class, learners will have the opportunity to share their creations with their fellow learners and to explain any variations they made, if they so choose. Hopefully by the end of class, each student will feel proud and accomplished by their art and inspired to continue creating.
