I just mentioned this in my last post, but decided it was deserving of it’s very own post.
I’ll be teaching art classes next month: every Tues in Sept 2012 at 10:30am at the Discovery Learning Center in Santa Cruz, CA.
An introduction to working with different materials. I’m using up some supplies left over from the summer camps I taught and doing some of the same projects. (For photos see my post Art Camp 2) The first two classes are geared toward ages 5-10, the second two more enjoyable for older kids as well. But all ages are welcome and can
enjoy the time to be creative. They’ll be free to experiment with the
materials, ask questions, and not forced to do the project I’m
introducing. I’ll include some info and
samples of different styles of art, common terms, etc, at each class.

Class 1.
Nature art: create beautiful art with natural materials found locally!
We will be making owl masks with nut shells and leaves, hedgehogs with
pine cones
and clay, or create your own on paper.
Class 3.
Mask
making: We’ll be making plaster masks of your face with plaster wrap.
This is a great keepsake! You can take home to dry, paint, and decorate!
7+ ages recommended, must be comfortable sitting still for 10 min and
having plaster wrap applied to face. Come with hair up and headbands to
keep bangs out of face.
