Description

 Art Academy is an after-school class designed for students who wish to
develop and grow their artistic aptitude. Throughout each six week
session, students learn and practice foundational skills in the visual
arts and are exposed to a variety of mediums in both the 2D and 3D arts.
Art Academy students also develop strong visual literacy and critical
thinking skills through looking at and discussing their own artwork and
the artwork of others. For the 6-10 year old cohort, each class yields a
"final" work or project that is shared and discussed. For the 11-14
year old students, the focus shifts to project based instruction with an
emphasis on skill building.

Art Instructor:

Art educator Jen Johnson holds an undergraduate
degree in art history and English literature from the University of
Kansas, as well as an MAT (Masters in the Art of Teaching) from the
English Department at the University of Montana. In her own practice,
Jen is equally invested in understanding the larger world through her
interactions with the art objects of others and the making of her own
art objects. Jen considers her greatest strengths as an educator to be
the facilitation of reflective and critical conversations about art and
art making, as well as the creation of safe environments for authentic
explorations into the practices of self-expression and making. Her
preferred mediums are mixed media, printmaking, and photography, but she
enjoys the act of creation no matter the medium and considers it one of
her greatest joys to make art alongside others.
