In doing so, students gain skills in recording their experience of the world in images and text. Beginning with an exploration of the immediate surroundings and the campus outdoors, students seek objects, collect images, and generate sketches in response to exploration prompts. These collections then become the raw material from which a variety of art pieces are made. The finished work is a record of what each child sees through his/her eyes. SENSATIONAL SCULPTURE: Young artists take a fantastic adventure into the world of three-dimensions! From figurines to animals, paper forms to mobiles, this course taps into an immense array of tactile materials that encourage students to attach, build, glue, construct, twist, mold, arrange, tie and connect. Students embark upon excursions around the campus to collect ideas and objects, and they view a wide ranging collection of both realistic and fanciful sculptures made by master artists. Young sculptors in this class learn to combine materials for expresses purposes, work collaboratively to create modular sculptures, and explore the tactile quality of every objects and materials.

In this class, students are involved in a variety of experiences in developing their drawing skills and abilities. Different approaches, tools, materials and techniques are presented and explored using a diverse range of media, from pen and pencil to color explorations in pastel and paint. Students create drawings from observation, imagination, and in response to the art of master artists and their peers. Students maintain a sketchbook and work toward developing a portfolio of their drawings for presentation.
3D WORKSHOP FOR CHILDREN: From wire and wood sculpture to clay, plaster and carved forms, this course is for the student who thinks in three dimensions. Students combine a mixture of additive and subtractive techniques to create sculptures that may be large or small, smooth or rough, uniform or multi-colored, individual or collaborative. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Brancusi, Moore, Nevelson, and many more, students think about the way sculpture can convey a likeness, repeat forms, express a concept or emotion, and utilize space in visually interesting ways. Emphasis is on sculptures as artful three-dimensional objects that can be viewed from all sides, with a form and surface treatment that are cohesive and expressive of the students' ideas and vision.
