ArtTerra Creative Arts & Studio Guide

Acton Academy Santa Cruz Midtown Santa Cruz

Part-Time: 10:30- 3:30 Fridays -28 classes, September to June

About ArtTerra

ArtTerra is Acton Academy Santa Cruz’s Friday enrichment program rooted in creativity, hands-on learning, nature connection, and learner-driven exploration. It blends visual arts, maker experiences, Spanish in action, music, and outdoor learning into a mixed-age environment where learners build skills, confidence, and ownership.

We are seeking a Creative Arts & Studio Guide for learners ages 4 to 18, primarily upper elementary this year. This role combines whole-program creative facilitation with a focused afternoon art studio for older learners.

Friday Program Overview10:30 to 11:40 AM Spanish in Action Co-led

The Art Guide co-leads a playful, gamified Spanish experience with the Spark Guide.

This is not a class, but an immersive experience where learners build language through doing, playing, and shared activities such as cooking, gardening, animal care, and maker projects.

No Spanish fluency is required. A willingness to participate, practice, and learn alongside learners is essential.

11:45 to 12:45 PM Lunch and Outdoor Time

Lunch followed by outdoor play at a local park. Learners typically walk together to a nearby park for unstructured play, connection, and time outside.

12:45 to 1:15 PM Silent Reading and Journaling

Quiet transition time. During this block, the Art Guide uses this time to prepare materials and set up for the afternoon art studio.

1:15 to 3:15 PM Art Studio Older Learners

A mixed age studio approximately ages 8 to 18 focused on drawing, painting, ceramics, printmaking, and maker based exploration.

Learners develop skills, confidence, and creative independence while working in a studio culture that emphasizes responsibility, care for materials, and respect for shared space.

Role Overview

This role is designed to create a real studio environment where learners:

Explore multiple art mediums
Build creative confidence and independence
Take ownership of materials, tools, and shared space
Develop responsibility through daily studio care

From the beginning of the year, learners are expected to clean up after themselves and actively contribute to maintaining an organized, inspiring studio.

Yearly Art Journey -Fall Foundations and Studio Habits

Drawing, painting, mixed media, printmaking, and core visual art skills.

Focus includes:

Material care and responsibility
Setup and cleanup routines
Growth mindset language and reflection
Respect for shared space and tools

Winter Ceramics Focus

Hand building, sculpture, functional forms, and clay exploration.

Spring Specialty Maker Studio

Based on the Guide’s expertise and creative practice.

Possible directions include:

Fiber arts sewing, knitting, crochet, felting, weaving
Cake decorating and food arts
Woodworking with hand tools
Architecture, design, and model building
Printmaking, jewelry, or other maker arts

End of Session Art in the Natural World and Field Trips

Each session may conclude with an outdoor art experience or field trip option such as:

Beach or harbor sketching
Nature journaling
Watercolor in the field
Observation based drawing

End of Year Learner Choice Projects

The final few classes of the year will intentionally shift toward learner choice, allowing learners to design and pursue their own creative projects with increasing independence.

Responsibilities

Lead afternoon art studio for mixed age learners
Co-lead Spanish in Action with Spark Guide
Facilitate hands-on creative experiences
Build and maintain a strong studio culture of responsibility
Teach foundational art skills while supporting independence
Encourage ownership of materials, space, and work

Values process over perfection
Can guide without over directing
Believes young people are capable of real responsibility
