Art (High School)
Instructor: Kathleen Hutton
Mrs. Hutton's art classes promote excellence in art making and enjoying the artistic experience.
Whether you’re apprehensive about your abilities or confident and experienced, my class can move you
along to enjoy the visual arts and achieve what you never thought you could! This course will direct the
High School student in the creative process, teaching a strong foundation in art through learning the
fundamentals of drawing, painting and sculpture. Some of the areas we will be covering will be line
drawing, shading, color theory, acrylic painting, sculpture, and much more! Students will keep a
personal sketchbook and explore a variety of different media to create their artwork. Students will have
the opportunity to display their finished artwork at the end of the year Celebration.
No special supplies are needed. A supply fee will be charged, and the teacher will purchase the art
supplies.
Supply fee: $80. This includes a sketchbook, portfolio, and all the supplies needed for the art projects for
the year.
Tuition: $45/month
