Wednesday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 10:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
Students will use hand building techniques (pinching, coil building, slab work and kurinuki) to create functional wares. There will be a variety of follow along projects and time and space for exploring their own ideas. Focus will be invited to give attention to the elements of design as we analyze the thickness of the piece, the feel of the shape in the hand, the balance of any attachments such as handles or knobs, the finish of the piece: does it feel too heavy, too rough, are the joins well attended and clean? We will also explore a variety of surface decoration techniques such as: sgraffito, Mishima, wax and paper resist, and slip trailing.

Wednesday - Dance Studio A - 116: 4:00 pm - 4:50 pm
Description:
Have you ever wanted to learn some cool moves and to dance with a fun group? Then join us as we groove to contemporary Christian hip hop music while learning a mix of hip hop and jazz dance. Dance moves will always be conservative and may include props, tumbling, and/or special light effects. Students should come to class wearing shoes and clothes easy to dance in. Jazz shoes may be worn but are not necessary. This is a year long class and students will be asked to commit to attending for the entire year. Students in this class will be performing in our wonderful Spring Dance Show that is focused on the life of Christ. This class will be performing in the Spring Dance Shows the week of May 16-22, final dates TBD. Details will be provided in full at our mandatory parent meeting to be held at 7pm on Monday, February 28th. (We are adjusting some things that should enable students to invite more family and friends to enjoy the event. We are considering all young student and level one classes to be split among the performances, but also to offer more performances that will allow better viewing opportunities and parking.) Parental attendance to this meeting is mandatory in order to ensure clarity of information and the success of your dancer’s performance. Please read the updated class syllabus that is pinned to your class channel. Students taking multiple classes (or siblings) receive 25% off their second class taken with the same instructor. Fees may be paid monthly or by semester. Costume fees for the Spring Show are due at Spring registration. (Estimated $25 to rent.) Wear clothes and shoes easy to dance in. Students are encouraged to stretch and practice what they learn in class at home a few minutes each day.
