Exploratory Art Studio

Let's explore! This class offers hands-on projects of both two-dimensional and three-dimensional works utilizing artistic skills and craftsmanship. The main focus is building or growing a portfolio of work. Some projects will be suggested by the teacher, but the student will ultimately select projects from a list of options. Projects may include: hand drawing in various styles, painting, collage, sculpting, models, jewelry, knitting, rope bowls, string art, mending and embellishing clothing, recycle/repurpose home decor, cosplay and costuming… This class is geared toward students with experience, but it is not required. Highschool Credit can be earned with an option of Standard or Honors (.25 per semester)
