Semester Under Way

Fashion Design-
We are beginning with learning the proportions for drawing fashion models. Typically we draw humans in "8-head" proportion, but in fashion models are drawn in "9-head" proportion.


Crafting for Etsy:
In this class students are beginning to learn many different types of crafting, jewelry making, embroidery, and photography. These first few weeks are devoted to learning jewelry including beaded earrings and necklaces.


Painting-
Color theory is the name of the game! Students are learning all about the color wheel, tint, tone and shade, and how to mix every color in the world.


Graphic Design-
First up, students are creating business cards. These will be used as our measuring point to assess their progress at the end of the semester when they will create another one.


Drawing-
In drawing students are learning the elements of art including line, value, shade, shape, form, color and texture.


3D-
Students are beginning by creating self-portraits in a very roundabout way. Students first create a line drawing self-portrait, and then trace over those lines with wire to create the self-portrait with wire.


Ceramics-
Pinch pots are the jumping off point for students in this class. Pinch pots are made by beginning with a ball of clay, and using your fingers to work the clay away from center to create bowls, mugs and dishes.
