Artists throughout time have captured the beauty of nature in landscapes. Each week students will be introduced to a work from a famous artist. Students will receive a color printed copy of the work, and will be instructed on how to replicate these works of art using colored pencils. Some of the artists whose works we will be exploring include Vincent Van Gogh, Gou Xi, and Bob Ross . Students will gain a greater understanding of prominent artists across history. This class will teach essential art constructs such as depth cues. I will also explain techniques for the use of colored pencils on paper. Proper blending, and layering, will be key learning objectives for the use of this medium. The goal of this class is to empower students by building their confidence in their art making ability. A sketchpad and colored pencil set is included in the fees.

HV Rec and Ed is in the process of getting a Rowing Club up and running (hopefully adding Learn to Row for adults in the near future too). We are working with both Northville and Skyline Rowing Teams/Clubs to help get us started. Rowing is an expensive sport so we have created this fund to collect donations from people interested in helping us get this program off the ground (and into the water). We plan to row at Kensington Metropark, but space is limited there so we are looking for other lake/river ideas from people too, so feel free to share your ideas with us! You can also sign up to help in other ways too (either in addition to a financial donation or just a "time" donation".
