Fall 2008 Art Classes

This fall I've decided to make 2 classes available. One class will be dedicated to elementary aged students, the other to middle/high school aged students. Read the descriptions below:

Elementary Classes- Tuesdays from 10am – 11am
Each class will be based on a children’s book. We will first read the book
and then have an art project based on what we’ve read. It will be really good reading comprehension practice for the kids! This is what I have mapped out for the class, but it is tentative and subject to change.
