Participants will create 2 3D art pieces during this 6-week course. We will begin by crafting the initial idea, which will lead to building a base and creating form. The final stages of painting and learning blending techniques will complete the masterpieces. Creating 3-dimensional art helps build cognitive and motor skills, including brainstorming, spatial reasoning, and academic growth. Art builds your brain! Students should bring an art covering, an old T-shirt, or a smock... or just don't wear your favorite hoodie!

Through this course, young artists in grades 6-8 will learn ways to express themselves through the transformative power of the visual arts. We will explore abstraction and visual representation of the self. This class provides a supportive space for middle schoolers to express their individuality, build artistic skills, and thoughtfully explore who they are through art. All materials are provided.
