This enticing project will surely be a good time. Students will shape a head with balled up newspaper. Once it’s formed the paper mache fun begins! Covering every inch of the sculpture in the gooey goodness that firmly hardens provides a great painting texture. Acrylic paints will be used when the animal has been sculpted to bring the creature to life!

Plein Air Painting for Teens
Paint and picnic with Annette in City Park! Bring a snack and enjoy learning the basics of painting ‘Plein Air’, or painting outdoors. Students will discover how light and shadow look different when observing from real life rather than from a photograph. We will paint landscapes, skies, and perhaps your favorite run or trail at Park City Mountain Resort! Annette takes a simple approach, teaching students how to break down landscapes into recognizable forms. Find out how enjoyable the Plein Air painting experience can be outside the classroom!

This class allows students to think beyond the pencil and white blank page. If your teen loves to draw and is interested in exploring new avenues in drawing, this is the class!
Wheel Throwing for Teens I
All skill levels welcome! Learn the tricks of success for making clay objects on the wheel. If you have never thrown before this is the best class for starting to figure out the basics of the potter’s wheel. Students are also welcome to practice their skills for improvement. We will start with cups and bowls for students to gain confidence on the wheel. As students advance, they are welcome to come up with their own sculptural wheel thrown designs. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready to pick up 10-12 days after the class session is finished.
Weird Science: Drawing for Teens
Get weird with drawing and illustration in this class. Students will learn about stippling, which is a technique using many small dots to create naturalistic gradation of tones, which is portrayed in scientific illustration. Learn how to use line and stippling techniques to suggest and render form, create texture, and build a dynamic, clean image using pen and ink. Class will examine specimens like animal skulls, or taxidermied animals. On the first day of class, students will receive a drawing pad and a personal pack of Micron pens of varied thicknesses to achieve the perfect values when drawing.
