Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 1-2. In this course, students look at the natural world around them as inspiration for creating their art. Through looking at the work of artists including Georgia O'Keeffe, Frank Lloyd Wright, Sumi brush painters and Native American artists, students determine the influences of nature on the art of various times and places. Excursions around the campus and neighboring areas provide opportunities for students to select and directly study different natural forms for use in creating their own compositions. This course spans a wife range of art processes, media, and dimensions (2D and 3D) such as drawing from observing nature, sculpting nature-inspired forms, using natural materials for mixed media collage, recording changes in nature, and much more.

Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 3-5. In this course, students explore a variety of art-forms that involve movement. They design and construct kites, create mobiles, and assemble other art objects that flap, spin, fly, flutter and move. A variety of construction techniques are combined with drawing/decorating techniques as students explore the potential of their ideas in creating both two-dimensional and three-dimensional kinetic art-forms. The beautiful campus at St. Paul's provides the perfect venue for kite-flying and more.

Location: St. Paul's. Grades 1-2. This course offers children a variety of exciting art experiences based upon explorations of their immediate world. Children develop confidence as learners and expand their curiosity about the world, while developing fine and gross motor skills as well as a visual vocabulary to express what they see. An open, playful environment allows students to experience a variety of media, while exploring line, shape, color, and texture to represent ideas and feelings through art.

Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 3-5. Throughout its long history, the art of cartooning has provided a wonderful means for people to express their opinions and ideas, entertain one another, bring forth laughter, and take amazing flights of fantasy. In this course, students learn how cartoonists develop their ideas, put together a unique persona of traits and physical features, and create the personality and appearance of an original cartoon character. Students learn the basic elements of drawing cartoon bodies, capturing expression through exaggeration, developing props, and writing dialog for short cartoon strips and one-panel cartoons featuring their original character.

Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 6-8. Designed for students who want to improve drawing skills and work towards more realistic drawings, this course focuses on drawing from observation. Students are guided through a carefully sequenced, step-by-step process designed to develop the student's perception and thinking skills. Based upon exercises in Betty Edwards' Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain, this approach has been successful in improving students' ability to draw realistically, even for those who think they cannot draw. As such, it provides the young artist with an excellent bridge between drawing symbolically and working more realistically.

Location: St. Paul School. Grades 6-8. 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 3-D 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.

Location: St. Paul School. Grades 9-12. Students explore drawing and painting techniques in making sketches from observation. Their sketches and other visual resources become the foundation for more finished compositions created in the studio.

Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 9-12. This course deals with the figure as a system of shapes and investigates the use of light to develop and render forms that construct the figure. Students explore tone and value to create and define the form of the figure within the space it exists. Perceiving the figure as positive and negative shapes and issues of proportion and anatomy are addressed. Using traditional drawing media, students work from the model in different interior settings to apply learned rendering techniques in developing figure drawings while establishing a convincing illusion of space in their compositions.
