Learn something new, expand your artistic horizons, and build a better portfolio! A select # of students will be chosen to participate in after-school classes, one day a week, for several weeks. The Visual Arts Boosters will pay for these classes (less a $25 commitment fee).
Locations of these classes will vary between local art centers that are close to school (The Glass Spot, the Visual Arts Center, etc.). Students are responsible for transportation to and from class.
Applications are available @ school. Student selection is based on grade level (priority to Juniors and Seniors), the number of consecutive years enrolled in art classes, grades in those classes, interest as demonstrated through the application, and overall commitment to their art and to the art program at Maggie Walker.

2017/18 pARTnership #1
Art League I: Principles of Design through Drawing + Metal Casting (Ages 15-18)
October 4 - November 10, 6:30 p.m. - 9 p.m.
Days: Wed./Fri.
Tuition: $25 (regular cost $285.00)
This co-taught class allows students to learn the basic principles of art and design through both two-dimensional and three-dimensional media. Discover how to convey line, form, color, shape, texture and more through both drawing and metal casting. Spend Mondays in the metals studio, where you will learn how to create a silver ring or a small bronze sculpture using the lost wax casting process. Walk away with your polished metal creation and an advanced understanding of how to apply the principles of design to making a small, three-dimensional form. On Wednesdays, we’ll move to the drawing studio, where we’ll use the human figure as a teaching and learning tool. Fine tune your drawing skills using a variety of drawing media. In-class exercises and critiques, along with critical discussions of other artists’ work will broaden your understanding of technique and expand your expressive content.
APPLICATIONS ARE IN THE ART ROOM AND ARE DUE BY SEPT. 28TH @ 3:30 PM
