Students attending Exploration Academy at Perry Middle School this summer have the option to take two enrichment classes in their areas of interest. Students in Ms. Pope’s “Art Factory” class are learning to be inspired by what they read and incorporate that into their art. Students in Art Factory class are learning to create model magic fancy flowers, hand-painted necklaces, papier-mâché birds, woven butterflies, and more. Students are learning to use art materials they have not handled before, as well as make stories come alive by creating artistic expressions of characters in books that they are reading. Exploration Academy classes will continue through June 29.
