Ethan, a 5th grader at Canyon Ridge Elementary, is an extraordinary young artist. His talent for art is evident in all his art pieces. Art Starz, one of the after school classes offered through Community Education, has allowed him the opportunity to work with different art mediums and experiment inside each one to create something that is truly his.
“I notice that in many of the demonstrations I do for the class, Ethan will often add extra detail“, says teacher, Jennifer Townsend. “For our architectural bird house drawing, he added depth and dimension to his houses. He turned his clay fish into a whale and added an extra branch with beautiful blooms to his painting.” Art Starz encourages children to find their niche while teaching core principles through many mediums like watercolor, clay, acrylic and pastels. Ethan always looks forward to putting his special “spin” on the project and has really grown in his abilities this semester. We look forward to a bright, artistic future for him!
