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.

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.

ROBOTICS - VEX IQ Robotics

VEX IQ is the highest level of robotics offered currently at Cloud 9. This course builds on the knowledge gained from the EV3 Level 3 course and expands students' STEM horizons using Scratch-based programming and advanced modular building. It's the perfect bridge from EV3 to a high school robotics program. Advanced building techniques are covered, from gear ratios and mechanical advantage to linkages and complex object manipulation
Media: RobticsCOMPUTER: Game design I

In this course, students will create games in a program developed by MIT called Scratch. Scratch will allow students to develop computational thinking skills as they learn how to code block by block. Each student gets a computer to work on. They do not need to share. Students are downloaded all their work on a flash drive to take home at the end of the term. When the class title says, extended, students get an additional half an hour of class time to work on their projects.
