Art Club at GAC encourages creative kids to branch out and have fun building a foundation in visual literacy and creative problem solving. Our instructors focus on expanding students’ experience of art beyond school curriculum, introducing novel techniques, tools, concepts, and inspiration from the contemporary art world, including GAC’s rotating exhibitions.

This semester-long program will allow students to explore art through a variety of different media, including drawing, painting, sculpting, and ceramics.

All materials and supplies for this class are included with registration.
