WELCOME TO ART CLASS WITH MS. MATTICE

A Scope of The Practicing Artist

Art class is a place where we learn about other artists and the various ways art is made. Young artists will be building portfolios of artifacts that document their learning. Merely achieving beauty is less important than what is learned from our daring, artistic experiments. Our main goal in art class is to simply experience different modes of creating, and to transfer what we've learned to personal art making, and all other realms of life.

-----------------------------------------------

La clase de arte es un lugar donde aprendemos sobre otros artistas y las diversas formas en que se hace el arte. Los artistas jóvenes construirán carteras de artefactos que documenten su aprendizaje. Simplemente lograr la belleza es menos importante que lo que se aprende de nuestros atrevidos experimentos artísticos. Nuestro objetivo principal en la clase de arte es simplemente experimentar diferentes modos de creación, y transferir lo que hemos aprendido a la creación de arte personal, y todos los demás ámbitos de la vida.
