Semester 3 (Spring)
This semester, we will focus on drawing the human body. Beginning with photos and wooden figures, we will begin to understand anatomy and proportion in the body, noticing weight and balance. We will move on to drawing from live models, using charcoal and practicing gesture, shape, volume and mark making.
These three semesters will prepare students to have three main elements of the high school application portfolio, and will help them build essential drawing skills to use in their creative work. In addition to this class, students should be working on their own personal art, to develop these skills but also to show their specific artistic interests and style. In 8th Grade Portfolio, students will collect these pieces in addition to other creative pieces students have made in their free time, and we will build a strong portfolio together.
If you are not applying for an art high school, but are still interested in developing your observational drawing skills in a focused environment, you are welcome to join us for this class, or our Sunday 6th-8th grade art class.

Whether you are interested in putting together a portfolio, developing your art skills, or just wanting to explore new mediums and have fun, this is the class for you. Loosely inspired by the DOE portfolio requirements, we will be making pieces that consider all the elements of design---balance, contrast, movement, pattern, etc--using materials beyond just pencil and paper, such as printmaking, painting, and sculpture. These pieces can be included in the creative section of the DOE portfolio, but you do not need to be working towards a portfolio to enjoy this class..

9-12th grade classes:
We are interested in providing programming for 9-12th grade students!
All of the classes we have offered for this age group so far, however, have had low enrollment
so we are not offering any new classes at this time.
If you are a 9th-12th grader interested in Art classes (or the parent of one), please email us!
We would love to get your input to create a class.
