Striving to Spread Art and Wonder to All
This semester in Cooper Home, we will be exploring how artists make art. Our students will be exposed to a wide range of materials and methods in which artists work. From this exploration students will gain a broader understanding of what art is, how art can be made, and how art can communicate emotions, stories, and ideas.
