Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 1-2. Using an exciting array of printing techniques without a press, young students learn the basic principles of printmaking. Any object with texture can be printed on paper or other flat surfaces using printing ink or other wet media. With this in mind, students are encouraged to look at the world with an eye for printing possibilities. Veins in leaves, embossed Styrofoam, textured fabric, natural objects, feathers and sponges all become printable objects. Because of the potential for multiple prints and repetition, printmaking allows the artist to create fantastic patterns, color combinations and designs.

Location: St. Paul's School. Grades 3-5. This course is especially designed for young children who are interested in developing their skills in using basic hand-building techniques to create both functional and decorative forms in clay. Using the clay work of different cultures and that of specific artists as inspiration, students create unique forms, patterns, textures and colors in exploring the medium and their ideas.

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. 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.

Section A Meets 6/24/2013 to 7/5/2013 on Monday,Tuesday,Wednesday,Thursday,Friday from 1:00 PM to 3:30 PM.

Location: St. Paul's Campus. Grades 9-12. This course focuses on ways that drawing the portrait and self-portrait, partial or full figure, can go beyond investigating and accurately rendering the subject, and instead, become a vehicle for exploration within the artist. Students interpret and manipulate color, value, line and other elements to a more personal end, so that finished portraits become a reflection of the students own feelings and values. The goal of the course is to free the artist from the expectation of realistic rendering and provide the opportunity to react, explore and draw from a deeper source. Individual and group critiques round out each session.
