Sketchbook-Making and Decorative Paper Collage

Students will create beautiful collage papers that will be used to make the cover of their hand-made sketch book. Drawing in the sketchbook will be emphasized throughout the week.

Painting With Watercolors and Acrylics

Students explore the fundamentals of drawing from observation by focusing on composition and value. Learn how to start a painting from prepping the surface to a finished work of art, through concepts of color mixing, blending, and application. Part of class time will be spent outside on the beach, sketching and painting the landscape around us.

Functional and Sculptural Clay Projects

Learn to build functional forms and sculptural pieces using basic hand-building techniques such as slab or coil construction and plaster forms. Students will learn different finishing techniques using clay slips, underglaze decals, and bright colored glazes.
