You might think you know that little old Robin or Blue Bird in your yard, but are you sure? There's a lot to love and learn about the world of birds! For example, did you know birds are related to dinosaurs? Or that depending on what Cardinals eat, some will turn yellow? Or how about that not all birds' nests are in trees, or that not all birds can be found in the air? We'll discuss one or two special birds per class on our avian adventures, and the projects we make will glorify something special about each one.

Online Classes at IS183

Register for a class (or series) on our website, and we will email you a Zoom meeting link along with instructions. Simply use the link to join the online class at the designated time! Download the Zoom app on your smartphone or tablet, or use your laptop/desktop web browser. The web browser client will download automatically when you join your first Zoom meeting. (Have a look at this Zoom overview.)

You will join a live, interactive lesson presented in real-time by an IS183 Faculty Artist. Small class sizes will allow you to engage personally with the instructor and other students, just like in the studio! Faculty lessons will primarily be demonstration-based, but may have segments in which students are challenged to work on independent assignments. Each class and faculty approach will be unique! 

Thank you for continuing to make art and support IS183 Art School! We look forward to seeing you in the (virtual) studios!
