Based on feedback from last year’s classes, she has decided to extend class by 15 minutes for the younger kids and 15-30 minutes for the older kids to use the last part of the class period to create something on their own, according to what that day’s lesson was.
The cost and dates will remain the same:
* 2nd & 4th Wednesday of each month
* Younger Group: Ages 5 to 2nd grade (from 11:30 am to 12:45 pm)
Cost: $5 p/child
* Older Group: 3rd grade and up (from 1-2:30 pm)
Parents are welcome to take the class, too
Cost: 3rd-5th grade is $5 p/child; 6th grade and up is $8 p/child
Mrs. Kuhns asks that everyone pay for a semester at a time up front, if possible. 2012 classes will begin on January 11 and will meet 9 class sessions. So if you have a child that is 5th grade and younger, your cost will be $45 for January to May. If your child is 6th grade or older, your cost will be $72. (This is actually a great rate compared to many local art classes that typically charge $10-20 p/class.)
If your child took Art last year, only a few additional supplies will be needed this year. If your child is new to Art this year, you will be able to purchase your supplies online through Dick Blick at a huge discount. The supplies are really good quality and can often times be used for several years in a row if your child takes good care of their things. (The supply list is posted below.)

In addition to the above supplies, Mrs. Kuhns asks that all students bring…
· a spiral notebook w/lines and a pen to take notes
· an art smock or old t-shirt
· a small, empty matchbox to contain the razor blade and pen nib
· an empty Kleenex box to contain trash
I realize this sounds like a lot of supplies and a large expense, but many will last several years if taken care of and they are offered at a great price on Dick Blick, compared to other Art suppliers such as Hobby Lobby. It really is worth the investment and your child will learn some amazing Art skills from Mrs. Kuhns.
