Fall Art Academy 2024
Art Academy is an after-school class designed for students who wish to develop and grow their artistic aptitude. Throughout each six week session, students learn and practice foundational skills in the visual arts and are exposed to a variety of mediums in both the 2D and 3D arts. Art Academy students also develop strong visual literacy and critical thinking skills through looking at and discussing their own artwork and the artwork of others. For the 6-10 year old cohort, each class yields a "final" work or project that is shared and discussed. For the 11-14 year old students, the focus shifts to project based instruction with an emphasis on skill building.
