OPEN ART STUDIO

If there were an opportunity to have an open art studio where a student could come in and work on a concentrated project or medium, would you be interested. This would be an advanced class and would be open to anyone that has taken the basic classes and wants more of a specific medium. There would be specific criteria in order for you to be able to qualify for this studio. ( no discipline problems, worked turned in on time, 95% or better in art area of concentration). What do you think? Do you think it would fly? What is a suggestion you would make to make the studio better?
