Saturday Children's Art Classes

Children's Book Illustration

This semester we will explore the theme of Children's Book Illustration. Our students will be learning about the people that create the artwork of story illustration. This includes the ideas they communicate, and the methods and the media used. A wide variety of both two- and three- dimensional art-making techniques will be explored. As always, critical thinking skills, creativity & problem solving are emphasized.

Classes are held on seven (7) Saturday mornings, 9:30 – 11:30 a.m., Feb. 16 – Apr. 5 (No class on Mar. 15) in the classrooms of the Art & Journalism Building. They are open to any child, grades 1-8. Each class is limited to 20 students. Spaces are filled upon receipt of payment with a completed registration form. Note: Classes filled very quickly last semester!
