Who is the Clay Instructor?
Bright Horse Art Director, Kim Greene, has been leading young clay enthusiasts through original, enriching clay lessons for ten years. She creates new lessons year round so that she can present fresh material to students in every class. Continuing students can be sure that there are no repeats and new students can be sure that they will enjoy learning to make art from the very first lesson.
Class Descriptions
Grades K-2
Youngsters in this class will enjoy a successful introduction to clay while building stronger motor skills and three-dimensional comprehension. We will coil, slab, pinch, roll, create textures and smooth our way through fun and engaging projects each week in a guided, step-by-step fashion which encourages creativity and nurtures individual vision. Each week the children will start with lumps of raw clay and—by the end of the session—will transform them into lovely, creative sculpture that will last a lifetime! Children will finish their pieces with a variety of media including low-fire glazes, slips, and watercolor paint.
Grades 3-5
As a creative outlet for budding artists, this class offers just the right balance of structure and freedom. Guidance, encouragement and constructive feedback are offered as students venture into their own artistic interests and discover deeper levels of self-understanding. Art history is woven into the themes presented with each lesson. Young artists can see for themselves how their art is a singularly unique creation but also a reflection of the many artists before them in history. Projects will vary in length of execution from one class to three weeks, demonstrating the various challenges and opportunities that clay offers as an artistic medium. Wheel basics taught throughout session.
