In this class, students have opportunities to dive a little deeper. With focus on a different medium each day,

young artists will learn to merge artful play and imagination with individual style and skill development.

This class is intended for those who love art-making and want more! Pick and choose which weeks to

attend or sign up for all six.

July 12: One Line Doodle Monster & Clay Play— Working with drawing tools for the first half of class and

clay in the second, the focus of this session will be on playful exploration and problem-solving in art. Students

who are signed up for the July 19 session will also have time to plan and sketch for their clay piece.

July 19: Pinch Pot Creatures— Work with ceramic clay that will be fired in a kiln between classes. Students

will sculpt an imaginary creature starting with a simple pinch pot form. Students who can take the August 2

session will paint their pieces. Students who cannot, will be able to pick up theirs when they have been fired

and paint it at home.

July 26: Textured Paintings on Canvas— Play and create with thickened paint. Learn about composing and

color mixing. Make a painting that pops!

August 2: Painting Pinch Pot Creatures— Students that did not attend and make a clay piece on July 19 will

be able to create and paint a cardboard sculpture.

August 9: Found Object and Fabric Puppets— Turn fabric, plastic pieces, and rope into walking puppets!

August 16: Watercolor Resist Paintings— Find inspiration viewing artists’ paintings in the Michigan

Watercolor Society Exhibit. Students will apply new knowledge about watercolor painting to their own subject

of choice drawing.
