This is a year-long studio art class for children going into grades K-3. Students will meet weekly with Miss Lucinda during both Fall & Spring Semesters to learn basic skills and techniques in drawing, painting, collage, and mixed media. The teacher will demonstrate while the class follows along and imitates - just as the masters and apprentices of long ago -- although there will be plenty of time for individual creativity. Students will be introduced to master artists from various historical periods and the Seven Elements of Art. This class is a good fit for children who love hands-on projects and can also listen well and follow instructions.

Description:
Students are bound to have a lot of fun together in this messy adventure of learning the old craftsmanship of wheel throwing. This is for returning pottery wheel students and beginners with no experience. Creating with their own two hands using water and clay, students will learn wheel throwing techniques with the goal of making functional pieces for use in their homes and spaces. They will be encouraged to bring their own ideas to the classroom and will be given exciting demos. While this is primarily a hands-on class, students will also be keeping a pottery notebook in which they will be encouraged to write notes, journal and sketch throughout the week.This taps into some art, design and science studies. They’ll be learning basic terminology of the ceramics studio from kiln to kaolin as they study temperatures and techniques, form and function. Over the course of 16 weeks, the ceramic studio becomes a source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy for them.
Requirements:
• Supply & teacher payments are due January 13th. Families must respond to Groupzu invoices by this deadline to keep their standing in the class.

Creating with their own two hands using water and clay, students will learn the basics of the pottery wheel. Students will learn to center, open and raise walls, shaping and forming into functional vessels. Throughout the weeks there will be demos on how to make basic forms such as cylinders, bowls, altered pots, pitchers, mugs and more. Pottery students are bound to have a lot of fun together in this messy adventure of learning the old craftsmanship of wheel throwing, Miss Sia’s forté. All students will be taught decoration and glazing and will have the opportunity to take their work home when fired. This class is for beginning, intermediate or advanced ceramics students. Returning students will learn new skills and build off of other semesters. As they work within the structure of the studio, this class is also excellent for socialization, teamwork and cheering each other on. I teach my students to help build up a strong environment in their classroom by building each other up. The ceramic studio hence becomes a source of art therapy, camaraderie and joy.
