About Classes

 

Classes are designed for people who learn in different ways. Unlike the public school system, the focus is drawing and building drawing skills. Classes are small and Joe is able to tailor his instruction to the needs of the student. Students can go as far as they want without being held back by their classmates.

 

Many high schools students come to Whiterock to build their portfolios for college admissions. Former students have completed art/design degrees from Appalachian State, East Carolina University, University of NC at Chapel Hill, and NC State University.

 

 

Supplies

 

​

 

Students draw with H and B pencils, charcoal sticks, conte crayons, crayons, and ink pens. Colored pencils, watercolor pencils, permanent and water based markers and watercolor and acrylic paint are used depending on the project and interest of the student. We always have backup supplies so students can experiment with what we have and get what they want on their own.  Drawing pads also vary depending on the size and type of paper the student prefers.

 

Whiterock Studio has been in business since 1985. Joe Rock Edwards, owner, is a certified art teacher and professional sculptor. He has developed teaching techniques that insure the student will complete works of art they will be proud of with or without the benefit of previous artistic study.

Children who have difficulty in school because of learning or behavioral problems thrive at Whiterock Studio. Small classes insure students get the help they need at every stage of learning. Starting and completing projects improves self-discipline. Student’s ability to focus is improved by engaging their hands and mind simultaneously. Projects are designed to meet the needs of each student.

 

Single Sessions or New Groups

 

One class or a session of classes can be arranged for Home Schoolers, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, Church Groups, and Indian Guides. Schedule a Birthday Party and make art projects.
