Classes

Ceramics
Grades K-6

 Is your child a hands-on learner who dreams of bringing their ideas to life? Ceramics is a clay and sculpture class perfect for curious tactile learners. Students in K-5th grade will learn hand-building and glazing techniques that will transform their art into 3-D ceramic treasures.

Art Explorations
Grades K-5 and Art Explorations Jr. Ages 4-5

Does your child love to draw paint, cut, glue, and create?  Art Explorations offers the perfect creative outlet for students in grades K-2nd!  This class develops visual literacy by introducing past and current art masters and emulating their styles - from abstract art to architectural creations! We also look to the natural world for inspiration and spend time diving into our imaginations and developing our unique artistic voices.  This is a very active, hands-on class for students who love to bring their visions to life!
*Now offering a Thursday morning class for late start students at Claire Lilienthal that will include a walk to school and 9:15am drop off at Madison Campus.  If late start students from other schools want to join the pick up time at the studio will be 9am.

Art Academy
Grades 3-6

Does your child love drawing and painting the things they see?  Art Academy is perfect for budding artists in grades 2-5 who want to dive deep into observational art!  In this class we will enhance student's representational art skills by introducing new techniques, mediums and even some fun art tricks!  We will look to old masters and current artists for guidance and inspiration.  This class will expand artistic abilities into life-long skills! 
*This class has had trouble filling up even though it will be so much fun! I would be happy to offer this class to a group of 3rd-5th grade, Middle School or High School students on Tuesday or Wednesday from 5-6pm, please email me if you have a group interested.

  Handcrafts
Grades 1-5

Rekindling Your Art Practice
for Adults
Does your child love to make things with their hands?  Would they be excited to weave their own fabric, macrame friendship bracelets, finger knit headbands and do embroidery?  If so then our Handcrafts class is for them.  In this class we will build fine-motor skills while exploring all kinds of fiber arts!
*This class has had trouble filling up even though it will be so much fun! I would be happy to offer this class to a group of students on Tuesday or Wednesday from 5-6pm, please email me if you have a group interested.
Do you feel like you never learned how to be creative?  Do you feel like there is an inner artist somewhere inside of you that you can't reach? If so, then Rekindling Your Art Practice is for you!  Most people never had the opportunity to learn concrete skills from a supportive teacher.  In this class, we will model our projects around old and new masters in a variety of styles- from liberating abstract projects to skill-building observational art.  This class is structured to build confidence, teach concrete skills, and provide students with a supportive environment where they can connect to their own creative interests.
 ***The sign-up platform I am using designed for school aged children and youth and doesn't have a listed option for adults. 
I listed this as a grade 12 activity but it will be an adult class. Please list your school as Sunshine Art House.
