In this course, students will have the opportunity to work one-on-one with their teacher on special projects developed by the student in their chosen media. Whether focused on techniques in drawing, sculpture, painting, or mixed media, each student will hone their skills and creativity. By the end of the course, students will be able to demonstrate growth in their chosen media and learn valuable skills to help encourage their artistry at home. From beginning to end, the teacher will provide an open and inclusive environment to help students feel confident in their ideas, their skills, and their creative pursuits. *This class is a part of our Certificate in Fine Arts Program and will give each student one point towards their CiFA certification./p>
