What are virtual studio classes at Joslyn?
Step One: 
Set up your studio space and prepare your artist's supplies in the comfort of your own home to get ready to make art!
Step Two:
Log-on
to Zoom for weekly 75-minute classes that will investigate Joslyn
artworks and artists, present art vocabulary and concepts, and
technical demonstrations. Time will be spent each session for guided
practice of new skills and artful experimentation with your instructor
and virtual studio mates.
Step Three:
Work like an artist to
complete weekly independent studio goals offline. Students will be
encouraged to as you make apply the skills and conecpts learned online
and share their artistic choices, challenges, and successes when we meet
each session.
Technical Requirements
Participants will need a computer or tablet with a webcam, microphone,
and speakers. Connection is via Zoom, a web-based cloud platform. A test
connection prior to each scheduled lesson is encouraged. An email with
special instructions specific to each class will be sent prior to each
class start date. The email will include a Zoom invitation that allows
registered students to log-on and join the class.
Workspace and Supplies
Virtual Art Class supply kits are available for purchase through Joslyn
and will accommodate all artmaking planned for the class. Purchased
supply kits may be picked up from Joslyn prior to class. (Delivery is
not an option.) A material list for each class will be provided for
those who prefer to gather their own supplies. Each student must have
all of the supplies listed for each class to have a successful
experience
If possible, students should choose a designated workspace that can be
utilized as a “studio” for the week. Please consider the materials and
plan ahead to accommodate any mess. Finding a dedicated space will allow
students the flexibility and independence to “work in the studio” as
inspiration occurs.
Students are encouraged to work independently while in class, but adults
are asked to remain available to provide art-making or technological
assistance.
