From cardboard sculptures and clay portraits to collages with different materials, this class will explore different styles and let students explore their creativity.

Afternoon Session  (All ages) For centuries, those who were training to become artists went to galleries and replicated others’ artwork to strengthen their skills so they could develop their own unique style. In this class, students will study artwork at RAM and The Cheech, recreate it, and then produce a masterpiece of their own creation.
