Needham Community Education

Explore a variety of 2D and 3D art techniques in this hands-on class. Students will learn drawing, painting, sculpting, and building, developing their skills through observation, exploration, and collaborative projects. We'll also examine the work of prominent artists and illustrators for inspiration and insights into the creative process. Students will create multiple pieces of art, expressing and celebrating their individual artistic voices.

Instructor: Jennie Bates, Art Teacher, Sunita Williams Elementary

ACTIVE EXPLORATIONS: In addition to the outdoor movement and break times planned by each instructor, students participating in full-day Summer Explorations classes will enjoy a 40-minute active break each day led by highly qualified Needham Public School P.E. and Wellness Instructors. During this time, students will head to the gym or venture outside to get some fresh air and move their bodies. Whether it's a brisk walk around the grounds, high-energy running games and relay races, or exciting team sports and activities, this time is a great way to break up the day, get some energy out, and boost focus for the rest of class!
