Think Picasso translates Van Gogh
This workshop is a space to slow down, have fun, and create by exploring mixed media—no pressure, no perfection, no art skill required. Each session offers simple creative prompts and guidance, while leaving plenty of room for personal style and play. As they create, students will be encouraged to try new things and to see “mistakes” as part of the process—building confidence, creativity, and a sense of growth along the way. Whether you already love art or feel unsure where to start, this is a welcoming space to explore and create, focusing on enjoying the process along the way. Feel free to join more than one session . . . the prompts will be different!

Cursive
with Audra Eckes
Ages: 8 - 12
For new or continuing students. This class will be individualized to match the place and pace of each student. We will learn and/or review, then practice the formation of individual cursive letters - lower-case first then capitals (upper-case), with focus on each student being able to write their name in cursive. I’m hoping that connecting letter to letter will begin on the first day to include short words using letters that are formed similarly. We’ll be learning the updated Zaner-Bloser style of cursive handwriting. The letters slant to the right with the tail of each letter connecting to the tail of the next letter. It also has capital letters that are simplified. Students will also practice reading cursive. Parents: This is the updated style of the one that many of you grew up on in grade school. Fun fact: did you know that practicing cursive tends to improve print and overall fine motor skills as well as coordination?
**Daily practice/homework of about 5 minutes will be requested to help ensure adequate progress.**
