The class is for ages 10-15.
Monster Makers Class with Melissa Terlizzi:
Ever think that there are creatures that don’t exist, but would if you had anything to say about it? Critters with fur and fangs; fairies with polka dot skin and butterfly wings; or sea monsters with tentacles and fins? Come put your imagination to work and learn to sculpt make-believe monsters out of polymer clay! Polymer artist Melissa Terlizzi will show you all the tricks and techniques you need to bring your colorful creations to life. The class is for ages 8-12.
Quill It Up with Svetlana Lechkina:
Quilling is an art form that involves the use of strips of paper that are rolled, shaped, and glued together to create decorative designs. On the first day students will learn a number of basic shapes, their names, how they are created, and the students will have their own chart to help them remember all of them. On the second day students will try using not just a quilling tool but a quilling comb as well and learn a variety of shapes that can be created with it. On day 3 and 4 students will be making small designs from the kits Lana has prepared. Day 5 is the day for your own imagination and creation! The class is for ages 8-15.
All Things Canvas with Elizabeth Seaver:
Canvas is one of an artist’s most frequently used materials. But if you think it can be used only for framed paintings, come find out what a fun material it can be! Each student will learn new ways to create with canvas and will go home with at least three pieces of art using it. (Spoiler: Students will make a three-dimensional creature of your own design!) The class is for ages 6-9.
Chinese Brush Painting with Hsi-Mei Yates:
Chinese brush painting has been a part of over two thousand years of Chinese culture. Following this tradition students will learn the basics of Chinese brush painting featuring a different theme each day. At the beginning of the course, there will be an introduction to the supplies that will be used each day in class: Ink, bamboo brushes, rice paper, a watercolor set, mixing plates, felt and water containers. Every class will also focus on achieving assorted styles of brushstrokes. The overall goal of the class is to be creative and expressive through great artwork! The class is for ages 7-14.
Visual Narratives and Sequential Art with Tiffany Yates:
The art of storytelling has existed for as long as humans themselves, taking new form with each medium it interfaces with. Sequential art is art that is presented in a certain order to communicate something to a viewer. In this class students will explore story telling through painting, drawing and crafting; making animations, comics and pop-up art. Class is for ages 10-16.
Experiments in Printmaking with Elizabeth Seaver:
Students will dive into three kinds of artistic printmaking, by creating a variety of printmaking surfaces and printed projects throughout the week. Students will begin by designing a printmaking block called a collagraph, which will produce a print for framing. We will draw, design, work in black ink and use vibrant color, all in this week of messy extravaganza!! The class is for ages 10-16.
