In this creative and reflective art class, students in grades 6–8 will explore identity and self-expression through mask making. Using a variety of materials and techniques, young artists will design masks that represent both how they present themselves to the world and how they see themselves on the inside. This class provides a supportive space for middle schoolers to express their individuality, build artistic skills, and thoughtfully explore who they are through art. All materials are provided. We offer confidential Card to Culture scholarships to help make our programs accessible to everyone. For details, please call our office—we’re happy to assist you!
