Artcie Teen Summer Session
A laid back "summer style" version of our Portfolio class. While the instructor chooses half of the work, the student is free to choose the other projects depending on interest with the aim of creating a “portfolio” of work by session end. Some projects will take the entire session to complete while others will be shorter term and done simultaneously. Not all students will be working on the same thing at the same time, so there is an aspect of guided independent study which allows this age group to fully explore their genuine interests.
June 26-August 14 (every Wednesday, no class July 3) 5:30-7:30, $200

Adult 

Adult Painting
June 25-August 13 (every Tuesday, no class July 2) 6:00-8:00, $200
