The High School Summer Studio Art Class is still going to happen, the dates are the same and the times are the same, but we’re incorporating some measures to ensure the safety of the students. We will be splitting the class into 2 sections, (Section A and Section B) and will be rotating the days when each section meets to limit the amount of students who are physically present in the studio. While one section is working in studio, the other section will be working from home giving each section 10 days in the studio, and 10 days working remotely. If any student or family is uncomfortable with being in the studio, we will also provide an option to complete the course entirely from home by offering live instruction, pre-recorded demos, and Google Meets during class where any student will have the opportunity for instruction.

• Forms and payment were due by Friday May 29 however, Mr. Eckerle is still accepting registrations
• Class runs Monday thru Friday of each week, 8:30am – 11:30am
• Any scheduling conflicts (vacation, camps, sports camps) can easily be worked out 
if I am notified prior to the class.
• If you have any questions, please feel free to email me at eckerlem@ndapandas.org
• If AP students, future AP students, and students interested in applying for Governor School for the Arts take the summer course, their assignments will be individualized.

WEEK 1: 2D OR NOT 2D July 6th – July 10th

Week 1 takes a basic look at some 2D techniques. We will be learning a series of dry medium and drawing techniques. Mediums may include pencil, colored pencil, oil pastels, chalk pastels, and charcoal. Other concepts covered will include alternate surfaces and alternate sizes ranging from the very small, to large, to organic shaped surfaces. We will also be studying Op Art works by artists such as Sol Lewitt and Kristin Farr.

WEEK 2: 3D July 13th – July 17th
Week 2 get us into working 3D. Students will be working on sculpture projects using any material that they can get their hands on but mainly wire, wood, plaster, plaster molds, cardboard and clay.

WEEK 3: Old Clothes Week (Painting) July 20th – July 24th
Week 3 will get us experimenting with paint. New students will be using Acrylic Paint while more advanced students will get a chance to use either Acrylics, Water Soluble Oil Paint or spray paint. We will cover different styles of painting and study artists such as Chuck Close, Kevin Muente, Joshua Miels, Kristin Farr, Andy Eckerle , Odili Donald Odita, Banksy, and more.

WEEK 4: Mixed Media Week July 27th – July 31st 

This week we will be taking a more contemporary look at Art. We will be learning how to make Art out of anything and everything. Nothing is safe from possibly being adhered to, nailed on, drawn with, or painted over. We will be working with mixed media, some sculpture, and also how to integrate the two. A mess will be made, a different type of Art will be created, but fun will be had. Artists that we will look at will be Louise Nevelson, Jasper Johns, and Robert Rauschenberg.

Please fill out and return form and payment to Notre Dame Academy by Friday, May 29th.
