“Sacred Circles” was first offered as a “minimester” course and later as a special 2-week art class in which 9th through 12th grade students explored the significance and symbolism of circular artwork found in various cultures and world religions.
In addition to the academic aspects (which included reading assignments accompanied by questions, as well as a required research paper and presentation), it was also an intensive art production course. Students worked through various skill-building exercises, ultimately creating their own personally-significant circular artwork.
