City Center Art Level 1 is a beginner level art studio class for youth in grades 2 – 5. The prerequisites for the class are simply an interest in art making displayed by the child. No basic skills or knowledge will be required to enter CCA 1. CCA 1 will be taught according to SOE’s studio-based teaching philosophy, in which artist-teachers facilitate the production of each child’s creative ideas through engaging them with the studio and teaching the fundamentals of technique required to bring each child’s individual project to fruition. Upon completion of CCA 1, and before graduating to CCA 2, each student will know:

Basic color theory
Basic rendering skills
A basic understanding of 3d space
Studio manners and maintenance
Beginner level art history and art appreciation

City Center Art Level 2 is an intermediate art studio class for youth in grades 6 – 8. The prerequisites for the class are that the child is at least 6th grade aged, and that he or she has completed CCA 1 and is proficient in the skills acquired at that level. If a student in the 6th, 7th or 8th grade is entering SOE for the first time, the student must show an interest in art-making.
