There are painters who transform the sun into a yellow spot, but there are others who, thanks to their art and intelligence, transform a yellow spot into the sun.
-Pablo Picasso

Round Rock Art Cooperative, believes in educating students in the entire realm of art, not just one small niche. Many great things have come out of a student discovering that he or she loves a new medium that they would have never tried.
This course is an introduction to painting in acrylic,oil, watercolor and related media offering an elementary understanding of physical properties of the medium. Formal investigation of color and composition will be emphasized.
Students work on projects in composition involving development of awarenessn of sources of design in nature and environment, and sensitivity in interpreting and transforming these sources through a variety of media and techniques. Emphasis is placed on color study.
The course introduces the student to both hand-built and wheel-thrown forms. Clay materials and glazes are explored as means to develop a sense of three-dimensional form
This course studies the essentials of expression and design specific to three-dimensional form. Additive, subtractive, and constructive methods are employed using traditional and non-traditional materials. The course includes discussion on internal and external space as these affect the perception of sculpture.
