Windover Art Center brings out inner artists By Windover Art Center Photo courtesy windowver art center
When students at Windover Art Center create masterpieces, they not only learn the skills needed to express themselves, they are also connecting to a rich tapestry of history and science. From the ancient art of pottery to the cutting-edge technologies of digital art, the activities at Windover present one-of-a-kind learning opportunities. No matter what classes students sign up for, fun and excitement await. Every day at Windover Art Center, students sign up for the classes of their choice. Three classes everyday can be selected out of as many as two dozen choices. Classes in photography, pottery, theater, glass beads, and much more are offered daily, so students can always sign up for favorites. Some classes require students to return again before the week is over: pottery needs to be glazed, photos printed, and plays rehearsed. Choosing their activities, students feel more responsible for participating and completing their projects than if they were assigned.
Windover is not only about self-expression, it’s about everything! Learning opportunities are everywhere; from how the chemistry in the darkroom works to the history of pottery
in ancient times; from physics lessons in the glass bead studio to how computers work in the digital art lab, teachers at Windover sneak in extra lessons whenever they can.
Many camps can claim to be specialists in one area or another, at Windover Art Center, students don’t have to choose to learn one thing or another—they can learn it all.
