Class time will be spent drawing and painting (with watercolor and oils) from the landscape on site, weather permitting. Alternate time will be spent working indoors from a garden still life. Perspective will be covered, with an emphasis on color. From both observation and imagination, students will develop critical thinking skills, as they study still life drawing and painting, printmaking, and collage. The course will culminate with a classroom show of the students’ work following the last day of class. All materials provided.

Free for students enrolled in the Transcend Program

This program will engage participants in a wide variety of unique and interesting problems that are not always posed in a standard math class, and teach students numerous general problem- solving strategies that will give them the means to tackle difficult problems. Unlike a traditional math course, this program focuses more on the “how” of solving problems, giving students the confidence to think critically, a skill that transcends the classroom.
