Art Club
Visual Arts + Creative Expression
In this offering student-artists will explore visual expression through a variety of art project, focused lessons and varying mediums. Participants will use colored pencils, water color, chalk, acrylic paint, dyes, and clay to create inspired works of art. Crafts will draw inspiration from the their favorite plants, animals, landscapes, and the changing seasons. Participants will create abstract works as well, and deep dive into imaginative free hand drawings, paintings and more.
Thanks to our incredible Art TEAchers over the years this club has become widely popular and sells out quickly. We’re thrilled to have talented artist Kelly McKay teach this offering, she is a multi-talented, dedicated and fun teacher.
