Visual Art Class available this coming school year from Elizabeth Howe

If you are interested, please let me know the name and ages of the children participating: marquettechums@yahoo.com.  This does require a weekly commitment,  and we ask that only people who are serious and committed to attending regularly register, as the class size is limited.

Class Description. - This class is an introduction to Composition and Design as the structure of art. It teaches the principles of good composition and design through the use of the elements and principles of design, tools and techniques. Exploring the elements and principles, through the use of multiple mediums, art history, artistic movements and self expression.

This class can be used as a visual art credit for middle-school and high school students.

To receive one full credit students would have to participate in classes and complete homework from Sept - April.

Students can participate in Fall session only from Sept - Dec and receive a half credit.

Classes will be at my home studio which is about 17 miles out of Marquette on county road 550 toward Big Bay. It takes about 20 minutes with out snow. Any days we determine to be snow days, we may have the option to live video, or at least emailing of lessons concepts and homework. I have done this type of co-op with other families from town and we have never had to cancel due to snow.

I understand that some people interested have to come from Ishpeming or Negaunee and my studio is not convenient.

Having the class at my studio allows me to offer this class. As the time for packing, and unpacking supplies as well as travel to another location consumes so much of a day we get no other school done that day. It also allows me to offer the class at a very affordable cost as everything we need is right here.

Class will be Tuesdays at 2:00

Beginning Sept 17

cost will be $5.00 per student per week. This will cover most materials.  There will be a fee of $10.00 each family at the first class in addition to the $10.00 to cover the cost of a small textbook.

The class will include many art projects, as well as discussions about art and the purposes of art, and some written assignments. It is a class that can be good for 7 grade - highschool.

Any questions and people can email me at bemedropin@msn.com  or call  my home at 906-345-9348

A full schedule of classes and a scope and sequence will be available by next week for those interested.

We will run most weeks, with time off for holidays.

Thanks Elizabeth
