This fall we will dive into art in ancient times. We start our mornings in the art studio with engaging drawing exercises, demos, and presentations, then after a snack break, we will get hands-on with the project of the week, including paper and bookmaking, marble (plaster carving), block printing, shibori fabric dyeing, coil building vessels, and fresco techniques. All of these art practices have a long cultural history. With introductions of modern art vocabulary and current artists, we will add a modern flare to these timeless processes.

 

This program includes all materials and a main lesson/sketchbook.  The last class is the much-anticipated art show. Students will give presentations and demonstrations to family members.
