END OF SUMMER


 

Classroom prep

Hope you are all enjoying the last days of summer!  I am pretty sure my last days will be filled with getting my 3 kids off to school and then prepping this week for art class to start next week on Sept 5, 6 and 8.   So far, I have 50 students signed up this year.  That is 50 students each week in between 10 different classes.  I feel very honored and blessed to have these kids enter my classroom each month!  It is bound to be a great year of new things to explore and creativeness to dig into.

My classes are small this year; this is something I am very excited about too.  This is better for the teacher and the student.

I have been asked the question many a times, “Can my student come for 2 or 3 certain months in the year? “.  The answer is “yes”!   We start and end a project in one months time, so the minimum participation would be a one month class.  You may pick and choose which months you would like to attend since we do a different art medium each month.

Here are the class times once again for you to look at and sign up for:

Classes meet three weeks of every month; using a different art medium each month.
