Fall 2024 Art Classes for All Ages:

Registration starts August 1, 2024


Gloria Seitz, a certified K-12 art teacher, will be teaching classes on the topic of Exploring Painting. In this five week class, students will be learning about painting tools,  watercolors and watercolor techniques, and acrylic painting on canvas.  CLASSES WILL BEGIN ON THE WEEK OF September 10, 11,12,  AND END THE WEEK OF October 8, 9, and 10.    The Art Festival will be held the evening of Friday, October 11. 

CLASS INFORMATION: I am so thankful to be back to finish the last of my in person multiweek classes. Several students dropped out so I have a few spaces left for signup. (After each class I list how many spots are open.)Since we are just starting watercolor, they will be ok starting at this point. 

Please do not let your child attend class if they are not feeling well. I will do my best to help them make up the classes missed.  Each family needs to individually decide their preference on mask wearing. Check the supplies list to purchase a few items needed each week. A backpack or tote bag is helpful to bring supplies to class. Each student should have their own bag. Students may want to dress down a bit on art day. Students who are continuing the class should bring any projects they have finished. The 9-12s should have a pencil line drawing of their lighthouse (9x12″ paper) including details like bricks, grass, water, etc. Older students can bring shells to paint and have some shell sketches made.
