Fantastic Voyage   Ages 3-5 (with accompanying adult)
Pre-school children and their parents or guardians will explore the world of imagination using a variety of art processes. Stories will serve as inspiration for projects in collage, painting, drawing, clay and construction. There must be one parent/guardian for each enrolled child; no other children may accompany the parent or guardian to class.

Adventures in Art   Age 6, Age 7, Age 8
In these age-specific classes, students will work with a variety of two- and three-dimensional media to develop imaginative projects that relate to their daily lives.

Drawn to Stories   Ages 9-10 , Ages 11-12
Ideas for visual storytelling will be investigated and realized in art works that may include drawing, storyboarding, and character development. Experimenting with a variety of media and processes, these classes will encourage innovative approaches to narrative art.

Ceramic Construction   Ages 9-12
Pinch, slab, coil and glaze are just a few of the traditional methods of working with clay introduced in this class. Students will develop clay-building skills while learning about the basics of ceramic art.

Claymation   Ages 9-12
Stop-motion animation brings the character of clay to life! Students will learn how to manipulate modeling clay, operate digital cameras, design lighting and sets as they produce a series of short films.

Sculpture & Installation   Ages 9-12, Ages 12-15
This class is an introduction to the elements of sculpture and installation visualized through explorations in a variety of materials (wood, plaster, wire, clay, fabric or paper), while also considering methods of transforming the studio space.  Students will learn to translate their ideas into material form.

Drawing, Painting and Printmaking   Ages 9-12, Ages 12-15
With imagination and an array of media (acrylic, tempera, watercolor, ink, charcoal and pastel) the options are endless! These classes will explore many approaches to art making, with experimentation and skill building guiding the students' investigations.

Art Studio   Ages 15-18
In a studio environment, students will engage in problem solving in a range of materials and artistic processes, helping them build a strong and varied portfolio. Students will benefit from periodic individual and group critiques.

Art Foundations for Adults
Adults without a background in the visual arts will discover their creative potential as they engage in a variety of art-making processes, while more advanced students will be encouraged to reach beyond familiar solutions. Only parents of Saturday Art School students may enroll. A materials fee of $65 is the only charge.
