Welcome to The Art In Beekeeping! In this class we’ll be painting and drawing and crafting- all around the same bee-autiful theme: HONEYBEES! While we craft we’ll be learning all about the characteristics of the honeybee, the bee-ology, and the responsibilities of the beekeeper. So bring your creativity along as we learn about the honey-making creatures and their beauty in art. But bee careful, things could get sticky. Students are welcome to bring an apron or oversized t-shirt for messy crafting

Sometimes your student may have gaps between classes, students are not allowed to be unsupervised. Study hall gives your student a place to come and study, do homework, maybe meet some new people while being supervised. Students may be in Study hall at any time they're not in class. This isn't a place to be loud and obnoxious, you'll be asked to leave if that is the case; but it is a place to throw in your earbuds, study by yourself or with a friend and make the best use of your time.
Must bring their own material.

Fall 2022
Arts
- Ceramics
Schedule:
Tuesday - Ceramics Studio - 004: 10:00 am - 11:50 am
Description:
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 & 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.
