Location: St. Pauls. Grades 3-5. In this introductory landscape course, students take a fantastic journey into some truly unusual landscapes. After viewing a variety of landscape masterworks and venturing outdoors to view real landscapes, students create drawings, paintings and prints of landscapes, cityscapes, oceanscapes and much more. Using children's literature as inspiration, students embark upon fanciful journeys into a colorful world of realistic, personal, and fanciful landscapes. To record the fantastic journey, students keep a visual journal to document writing and idea-generating processes. Emphasis is on problem-solving, exercising the imagination, using writing to enhance fanciful scenes, and experimentation with a variety of materials and techniques.

Location: St. Pauls. Grades 1-2. This environment-inspired course encourages students to look more carefully at the neighborhood around them, not only to see the buildings and structures it contains, but also to think about the people who live there and the natural living things that make the place beautiful. Students use structures in the area as the basis for collaged pieces. Inspired by artists who have used community and surroundings as the basis for their art, including Tom Miller (local Baltimore artist) and Red Grooms, students create both 2-D and 3-D paintings of people who help define the neighborhood. Students use patterns and textures found in nature, in trees, the sky and ground, and in buildings as inspiration for their art.

Location: St. Paul's. Grades 1-2. Let's take a journey into the imagination. Using children's literature as a starting point for "take-off", students will embark on flights over cities, fast journeys by train over land, and underwater excursions by submarine. As artist-travelers, students record - in paintings, prints and drawings - the things they see from a bird's-eye view, a bug's-eye view, a fish-eye view, and much, much more. Each journey is an exploration of an unfamiliar habitat, full of new textures, colors, living creatures, and plant life waiting to be captured in vibrant works of art.

Location: St. Paul's School . Grades 3-5. People from every part of the world use clay to create magical and secretive vessels, special guardian or protective figures, mythological creatures, small models and portraits of everyday life. We will travel the world visiting other times in other places by looking at the art and artifacts that different cultures have created in clay. In this course, students develop their skills and learn new techniques for working with clay. Some pieces will be glazed; others painted or embellished with different materials. Whether you are experienced in using clay or have never used it before, pack your bags and come along on this trip.

Location: St. Paul's 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 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.

Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 6-8. If you like to capture moments of life through images, drawings, text, and stories, this course is for you! Learn innovative ways that artists use the journal/sketchbook as a vehicle for telling personally meaningful stories. As a starting point, students find, alter, or construct books that will become the holding form for journaling concepts, memories, stories, preferences, opinions, dreams and much more. Emphasis will be on journaling via the written word, then using the imagery created by those words to develop drawings, paintings and collages using a variety of wet and dry media. Each session will emphasize a "chapter" in each student's ongoing story.

Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 9-12. For the students who wishes to hone drawing-from-life skills, this course provides a rich balance of skill-building and developing a unique artistic style in both black-and-white and color media. Using mostly dry media such as pencil, charcoal, and pastels, students utilize the rich urban landscape, mirrors for self-portraiture, and objects to explore the varied qualities, textures, tones, and proportions of both natural and man-made forms. While ideal for the student who wishes to include observational drawing in a portfolio, this course is also open to any high school artist who wishes to hone life-drawing skills.

Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 9-12. Explore how a self-portrait is created, beginning with the traditional self-portrait and then branching into thematic and/or color conceptual ideas about self as the basis for composing self-portraits that may or may not include a ace. Students begin with observational work using mirrors and dray drawing media, then express themselves via self-portrait in unusual, meaningful and innovative ways, problem solving ideas from beginning to end, analyzing the efficacy of developing images (self as well as peers) and developing a repertoire of visual thinking techniques.
