Art allows humans to express ideas without the spoken word, much like writing a poem or dancing in a movie theater after breakdancing in the glow-stick factory. Express your creativity in the right environment with today's Groupon to ETTA Art Studio in Amherst. Choose from the following options:

• For $29, you get a punch card for three art classes (up to a $90 value).
• For $39, you get a punch card for five art classes (up to a $110 value).
• For $59, you get a punch card for 10 art classes (up to a $300 value).
• For $99, you get three jewelry-making classes (a $225 value).

Course materials are included in the price for the jewelry-making class, but an additional $10 material fee applies to all other art classes. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday classes are valued at $20 per class, and Wednesday courses are valued at $30 per class. Some courses span six weeks, and only the 10-class option may be used for these.

The nonprofit organization ETTA Art Studio splashes the Amherst community with artistic spirit flowing from the brain brushes of its experienced local artists and teachers. Adult courses include the three-session jewelry-making workshop, where ornamentation experts guide students through the steps of crafting metal adornments and bootleg Olympic medals. Lessons first impart the polymer skills necessary to create beads before transcending to molding metal and clay frames. Students combine newly acquired skill sets to construct pendants, necklaces, or earrings.

The six-week, game-focused improvisation class gives students the theater talents needed to act their way through any other studio class they happen to stumble into. Parents can cultivate childhood creativity by applying their punch cards toward a series of youth courses. Multimedia workshops for youngsters occur daily and explore the fundamentals of collage making, painting, clay sculpting, and advanced glitter science.
