In studio art exploration, students will explore their creativity and learn new techniques using different media including graphite, charcoal, acrylic paint, watercolor, ink, collage, clay, and so much more. Whether inspired by famous artists like Vincent Van Gogh or Georgia O’Keefe, the seasons, or popular holidays, each project will allow students to learn, experiment, and ultimately have fun. *This class is a part of our Certificate in Fine Arts Program and will give each student one point towards their CiFA certification.
