Get outside with Rebekah and learn about in-camera control and essential camera functions while in automatic and manual settings. Each day students will go out in the field and take photos with the instructor and explore beautiful Park City. Students will either walk to local destinations, or will take city transit to visit the McPolin Barn or other picturesque locals. On the last day of class, students will meet at the Park City Library to download their photos and learn basic editing techniques to give their images a finished, polished look. Students will walk away from class with a collection of beautiful photographs, plus the skills and knowledge to continue digital photography on their own. All skill levels welcome. No cell phone cameras, please.
Wednesday
Succulent Homes for Teens & Tweens
Get excited for spring by bringing some greenery and creativity into your life! Come create fun planters that are uniquely your own. Students will hand build their planters and explore surface decoration on the first two classes, glaze on the third, and plant them with succulents or cacti on the last day of class! All skill levels welcome. Due to drying and firing times, pottery will be ready for pick up 10-12 days after class has ended.
Art Exploration for Kids
Students will explore art with a variety of different mediums and techniques to diversify their creativity. We will focus on learning the basics of sculpture, printmaking, painting, and weaving. Kids will learn about 2D and 3D shapes, create sculpture fossils, carve blocks for printmaking, and make colorful weavings in this creative class!
Wasatch Back Student Art Show Class: A Closer Look
Zoom in and discover what you see. Join this three day art class with Lori McDonald and make a piece of artwork for the Wasatch Back Student Art Show with the theme A Closer Look. We will draw, paint and photograph taking a close look at objects, and even our own faces up close. Come have fun exploring scale, computer pixels and the micro world! We will frame all finished pieces and submit them for the exhibition!
Art Attack!
This class explores various art media including painting, drawing, mixed media, sculpture, clay and fine craft. Students develop a knowledge of art processes, how to explore and experiment on their own, and learn art techniques to improve their ability. Some projects may span more than one class meeting and students may have fun creative homework. This class is for students who are 7 – 10 years of age only.
Wildlife Painting
Learn how to create lifelike paintings of animals and participate in one of humanity’s earliest art forms (dating back to prehistoric cave paintings!). Whether painting a portrait of a horse, a moose, birds or one’s beloved pet(s), students will work on creating good composition, practice color mixing and brush handling techniques to depict the beauty of animals and their environments. This is a great opportunity for beginners or advanced oil painters to expand their subject matter. Photographic references will be used in this course. Start collecting your favorite wildlife images! The instructor will also bring a supply of good photos that students may use.
