1) Culture and Art Class
Gloria Seitz, a certified K-12 art teacher, will be teaching classes on UNCOVERING THE ART OF ANCIENT CULTURES.
In this seven week class we will be learning about the various cultural styles of art which will culminate in a project related to the style we are exploring. We will also be fitting the civilizations into a timeline. Some of the cultures studied will include Egyptian, Vietnamese, African, Indian, and Chinese. We will use a variety of exciting materials including clay, scratch art paper, feathers and beads, metal tooling and plaster.
CLASSES WILL BEGIN ON Wednesday, March 5th for Trinity students and Thursday March 6th for Hobby Lobby students. Classes will END on April 23 and 24 with the Art Festival on Friday, April 25. There will be no classes on April 9th and 10th to allow for spring break.
PLEASE NOTE THE ADDITION OF A NEW Middle Elementary CLASS at Hobby Lobby from 10:15-11:15 A.M.
The cost for the seven week classes is $75 for the first child and $5 LESS for each additional child. Cost for this class is slightly higher due to cost of materials used.
