Every Child is an artist.
The problem is how to remain an artist once we grow up.
— Pablo Picasso
At WIS, we are introducing a new art medium using glass fusion, which will include every grade. This is a unique project that typically allows students to expose to clay, ceramics, and the pottery wheel, but also let them enjoy a unique type of art. Students in Grade 1-9 will learn about the history and process of creating fused glass pieces of art. The vocabulary, design techniques, and use of materials will increase in complexity in each grade and each year the course is taught.
