Welcome to the ARC Art Studio!

Bring your A game. Leave your marks.

This year, I hope you create an authentic thing. And then another. At some point, we will see your art and know it is your creation because it looks like your style.

We will begin with the basics and build upon that foundation. You will improve your ability with every piece of art you create. With every skill you develop, you can leverage your art in a new way. Art is a tool which is used to shape our experiences.

Each day, we experience patterns, imagery, and signs through society and culture. As we interact with people and the world around us, we wear fashion and send emojis and memes. We are continually exposed to advertising, and entertainment ensures we are rapt. Traffic signage communicates to the masses to improve automobile safety and guide drivers to their destination. A sports team’s new fit is on point. Branded logos are flashed onto hats, shoes, and cars. More and more is made to get our attention and communicate…something. All of this is possible and impactful because of Art.

Art is what we study in these studio classes. Art is a visual language we can use to communicate. The more you study and learn about the visual experience, the more likely you will be understood by the viewer. Intention and follow-through are big in this class. And we learn by doing. By making our mark.

Please enjoy your opportunity in the art studio. I hope you surprise yourself.
