Saturday Studios The Art Education Department offers special art studio classes for high school, middle school, and elementary school students. These noncredit courses are open to all interested students regardless of their level of experience in art. We do not require prerequisites or portfolio reviews. The Saturday Studios can serve to introduce students to the process of art making, assist students in expanding their studio backgrounds and refine their aesthetic awareness. Saturday Studios focus on the formulation of ideas, handling of materials, and defining and achieving one's intentions.
Students use a variety of materials and techniques, including drawing, painting, and sculpture.
Emphasis is placed on developing observation and imagination. Students are also encouraged to deal with their individual responses and interpretations. Instructors take into consideration each student's level of experience in art and the context of each studio may vary depending upon the needs of individual students. The content of each Saturday Studios class is designed around inspirational themes with specific goals and objectives.
