NEW Exploring Art Class for January 2015!

Exploring Art – 
Basic Concepts and Skills
*PART – 1

Ages 9 years to adult (or with instructor approval)
8 WEEKLY meetings Starting January 13th, 2015
Tuesdays
TWO CLASS TIMES AVAILABLE:
10:00-11:00 OR 4:00-5:00
At Pine Grove Baptist Church

This beginning course is perfect for young artists and/or those who have not had art instruction before.  We will take an “exploration” approach to basic skills and concepts such as line, shape, and composition with a variety of materials (including wire sculpture).  The focus of this class is on strengthening and working from observation skills rather than “how to draw” things.  We will further our study of line and shape through discussions and activities based on the Abstract art of Wassily Kandinsky and Joan Miro’

*Part – 2 will be offered for another 8 weeks starting March 24.  You do not have to have had Part – 1 to enroll in Part – 2 (but it is helpful).  Enrollment will be opened up to Part 1 students first, and any open spots after that can then be filled by incoming students.

Class Size Limit: 10 (5 student minimum)
If there is a waiting list, I will consider offering a 2nd class on Tuesday mornings 10-11

Class Fee (includes all supplies)
Early Bird Deal if paid by January 2 = $60.00 per first student, $40.00 per additional sibling
After Jan. 2nd = $75.00 per first student, $55.00 per additional sibling
