Mural Design- Apprentices developed designs individually, then collaborated to create a single design with the end result being a painted mural; designs not used for the mural were used to decorate items for the Final Apprentice Showcase 

Percussion Ensemble- Apprentices learned a variety of techniques to play many different types of percussion instruments & created their own percussion instruments out of household items.

Poetry Chapbook-Apprentices studied a wide range of poetry, developed an overall theme for their project, then wrote, edited, critiqued and assembled a high-quality chapbook of their work sold at the Final Apprentice Showcase and Quad City Arts Gallery.

Applied Arts- Apprentices will learned a variety of methods for combining fine art and functionality by applying art and design media and principals to everyday items including tote bags, clothing, blankets, and vessels; the items were sold at the Final Apprentice Showcase & Quad City Arts Gallery.

Sculpture- Apprentices created models of potential sculpture designs, that sold at the Final Apprentice Showcase, then decided on one or two designs for the group to create full-scale.  The sculpture(s) were assembled by the group and made from recycled or other “green” materials
