In teen art exploration, students will have the opportunity to explore special topics that cover techniques in drawing, sculpture, and painting at an intermediate level. These topics include watercolor painting, clay sculpture, collage, landscape painting, and traditional self-portraiture. Throughout the class, the teacher will introduce and incorporate lessons on art history, allowing students to learn about influential artists and art movements. New and continuing students welcome. *This class is a part of our Certificate in Fine Arts Program and will give each student one point towards their CiFA certification.
