ART: Preschool

This is a class for artists 3-5 years old. This class targets students that need time to work on their first motor skills. CLASS STRUCTURE Every project is based on a different children's book. Each class is broken into four components: Story time, drawing, coloring, and crafting. After reading a children's book, students are taught how to decompose the characters in the book into the 5 elements of shape and redraw them. Drawing helps students retain information about the subject 8 times faster and longer. All artwork is retained by the teacher and returned at the end of the term in a bound portfolio. Crafts go home with the student each week. BENEFITS The structure and lessons of this class encourage visual perception and hand-eye coordination. Other benefits we have noticed in the past include improved handwriting, fine-motor skills, shape recognition, and confidence. TIMELINE OF ADVANCEMENT Students are expected to stay in the class for a full calendar year (four consecutive semesters). Each term features brand new projects and books.

This class is for students 13+ years old and adults seeking to learn how to grow and/ or continue all their skills in ceramics. STRUCTURE OF CLASS This class teaches the basis of ceramic hand building techniques like pinch pots, coiling, and slab method. The first 10 classes of a term are dedicated to hand-building pieces. Each ceramic piece takes 2 -3 weeks to dry. Once dry, it is fired in a kiln to a bisque bisque state. Once bisque fired, pieces are returned to students, who will paint and glaze them using different finishing techniques including dipping, painting, and sgraffito. The pieces will dry for a day and then undergo a final firing. COLLECTION OF PIECES All ceramics must be collected once glaze and final fired. Parents and students will be notified via email if a piece is uncollected for three weeks. After four weeks, unclaimed pieces will be discarded. TUITION The tuition covers the cost of clay, glazes, and firing.

This class is for advanced students 8-10 years old who demonstrate consistent strength in their drawing and coloring skills. PRE-REQUISITES Fundamentals of Art I and/or Director's approval CLASS STRUCTURE Each class is 90 minutes long, and starts with a 5-minute skill exercise. Then, students are introduced to the subject, followed by the drawing and coloring component. The projects in this class are significantly more difficult and detail-oriented than the projects in Fundamentals of Art I. The subject and coloring media varies each week in Monart's progressive curriculum. Students follow the progressive curriculum set by the Monart School. Topics include 2-dimensional materials, 3-dimensional objects, human form, perspective, proportion, color theory, as well as techniques in how to color using various art media. All artwork is retained by the teacher, and returned at the end of the term in a bound portfolio. BENEFITS The skill exercise at the beginning of class changes each term. It is intended to fine tune an important art skill (e.g., shading, drawing hands, pencil pressure). Students will learn to use the 5 elements of shape to decompose creatures from nature and objects from their world into simple shapes they can redraw. TIMELINE OF ADVANCEMENT Students are expected to stay in the class for a full calendar year (four consecutive semesters). Each term features brand new projects. Advancing to the next level, Advanced Art I, is based on how well the student is able to do the projects under the teacher's supervision.

This class is for students 13+ years old and adults seeking to learn how to grow and/ or continue all their skills in ceramics. STRUCTURE OF CLASS This class teaches the basis of ceramic hand building techniques like pinch pots, coiling, and slab method. The first 10 classes of a term are dedicated to hand-building pieces. Each ceramic piece takes 2 -3 weeks to dry. Once dry, it is fired in a kiln to a bisque bisque state. Once bisque fired, pieces are returned to students, who will paint and glaze them using different finishing techniques including dipping, painting, and sgraffito. The pieces will dry for a day and then undergo a final firing. COLLECTION OF PIECES All ceramics must be collected once glaze and final fired. Parents and students will be notified via email if a piece is uncollected for three weeks. After four weeks, unclaimed pieces will be discarded. TUITION The tuition covers the cost of clay, glazes, and firing.

Then, students are introduced to the subject, followed by the drawing and coloring component. The projects in this class are significantly more difficult and detail-oriented than the projects in Art Basics II. The subject and coloring media varies each week in Monart's progressive curriculum. Students follow the progressive curriculum set by the Monart School. Topics include 2-dimensional materials, 3-dimensional objects, human form, perspective, proportion, color theory, as well as techniques in how to color using various art media. All artwork is retained by the teacher, and returned at the end of the term in a bound portfolio. BENEFITS The skill exercise at the beginning of class changes each term. It is intended to fine tune an important art skill (e.g., shading, drawing hands, pencil pressure). Students will learn to use the 5 elements of shape to decompose creatures from nature and objects from their world into simple shapes they can redraw. TIMELINE OF ADVANCEMENT Students are expected to stay in the class for a full calendar year (four consecutive semesters). Each term features brand new projects. Advancing to the next level, Fundamentals of Art II, is based on how well the student is able to do the projects under the teacher's supervision.
