Collage Party
On Saturday night we hosted a birthday party for Lisa. She has been taking her children to our summer camps for years and decided it was time for her to have some of the fun herself. She invited twelve of her friends for dinner, drinks, and collaging at our studio. Even those who hadn't attempted art in years made beautiful pieces and had a great time.

Using an ancient Greek scuplture of a woman dancing as inspiration, most of our adult students worked with clay for the first time ever. And some created entirely new studies of form and proportion in the human figure.

Maps
We asked the studetns in our "Monsters & Dragons" class to draw a map for an imaginary place. They needed to invent a map key, and decide who or what lived in that place. The results included dragons, goblins, pixies, teleporters, sea-monsters, ship-wrecks, and asteriods.
