Are you interested in learning how to play disc golf and the rules associated with disc golf? We will share everything you need to know to get started from the types of discs you can throw to tips on developing your disc golf form. Disc golf is a game in which players attempt to throw a frisbee disc from a tee box into a standing basket hole. Playing disc golf can also show you a new, exciting way to exercise and spend your free time, a way to engage socially and make new friends, and even a new way to relax in an atmosphere like no other. No need to have your own set of discs to start as loaners will be available at class. $5 course fee/week is covered in the cost of the class.

This class is for those students who have taken Part I, or those who want to go ‘beyond the basics’. This class will take value scales and create value studies, use shading techniques and light studies, use viewfinders to render more accurate drawings and perspective, and take line and contour sketches to manifest quick and elegant gesture drawings. This fun class will give students confidence and insight into creating their own personal style and art. Materials: Drawing pencils, white rubber eraser, black fine-point pen, charcoal stick, and drawing pad (at least 8” x 10”). (Many of these materials will be available to 'try' and experiment with in class, so students can identify which are best for them). Please note: The book and workbook purchase is highly recommended!
