Crafting for Etsy-
Etsy is a website for Artist's to sell their works of art anywhere in the world. Products for sale range from jewelry and knittings to paintings and photography. Kristin and Ashley will spend the first half of the class teaching students about different types of art they can create to post on Etsy. The second half of class students will photograph, market and post their work for sale. The hope is that students will walk away from this class with the knowledge and expertise of how to run their own Etsy webpage after the class is over.
Fashion Design-
This class, taught by Kristin and Ashley will teach students the basics of designing clothes from concept to finished garment. Students will learn how to draw models in Fashion proportions, draw and design a line of clothing, create and cut patterns and sew a completed garment.
3D/Sculpture-
Stacey, Emily and Ashley will be teaching this class and focusing on sculptures that can be made out of any material. Some materials that may be used include clay, cardboard, paper mache, recycled materials...etc.

Graphic Design-
Magazines, business cards, advertisements, cereal boxes, billboards... all are examples of works of Graphic Design. Ashley and Stacey will work with students in this class to learn the essential knowledge of Graphic Design which includes Color Theory, Composition, and text to name a few.
Painting-
Much like fall semester, Kristin and Emily will work through this class to teach students about many different types of painting. Projects will range from watercolor painting, to acrylic to oil while allowing students to figure out which medium they prefer to work with the most. Students will also learn about important historical landmarks in the world of painting including cubism and surrealism.
Drawing-
Students in this class will learn various drawing techniques demonstrated by Kristin and Stacey and will work with colored pencils, pastels, graphite and of course regular drawing pencils.
The teachers of the art department are very excited for our upcoming classes and we hope this excitement will filter into our students as well. Stay tuned to begin learning about projects in each individual class!
