ART DEPARTURE SIGNATURE CLASSES

Embark on Creativity: 1.5 hour weekly class

This fun, weekly class does a little bit of everything, from drawing and painting to sculpture, with lots of problem solving thrown in for a challenge. Student curriculum is differentiated and founded in "Choice-Based Art Education," which is an approach that fosters authentic artistic exploration and growth in individual students, while teaching skill at relevant moments based on student's developmental needs. Our teachers are student-focused, responsive and highly creative with a flair for honing in on individual needs. This class is inclusive of all abilities and developmental stages. Appropriate for ages 8-Adult.

Fun with Art: 1 hour weekly class

This weekly class focuses on art exploration in 2D and 3D creative projects. Students will paint on canvas, learn beginning watercolor techniques, and draw every week. Beginning sculpture techniques like air dry clay and papier mache' will also provide creative opportunities to learn. Students will work simultaneously on the same project, but each artist can personalize in their own way with color and style. This class is inclusive of all abilities and developmental stages. Appropriate for ages 5-8.

Mixed Media Creativity (Adults): 2 hour weekly class

Whether you're a beginner or a seasoned artist, we provide an inspirational retreat for your studio time. Like the Embark on Creativity Class described above, each student works on individual projects and differentiated goals. Many choose to paint in varied mediums like oils, acrylics and watercolors, while others discover shading pencils and charcoal. It's up to you! The instructor Miss Jaye will guide you through your medium of choice and help you to progress along at your own pace. She teaches both classic and contemporary methods for traditional and mixed media art, and encourages each student to find a creative and personalized means for processing through each piece.

Please note that all of our classes are small groups of 5 to 12 students, depending on age group. We do not offer any private, individual lessons, so that students can enjoy creating with others and observe others creating in a non-competitive environment.
