YOUTH ART CLASSES OFFERED posted 5/5/06

Adrian College, in conjunction with the YMCA of Lenawee County and the LCVA (Lenawee Council for Visual Arts) will host a youth art program this summer. This art camp will focus on POP ART, the colorful and whimsical 1960s art movement inspired by such artists as Andy Warhol, Jim Dine and Jasper Johns. Students will do projects working with clay, painting, printmaking and multi-media sculptures.

Classes are scheduled for the week of July 17-21. Sessions for grades 1-4 will run from 9 a.m. to noon. Grades 5-8 will be from 1-4 p.m.

Classes will be held in a big tent adjacent to Mahan Hall at Adrian College. Mahan is located between Shipman Library and the new Caine Student Center on Williams Street. The instructors will be Jackie Whiteley and Annie Morton, with assistance from Adrian College art education students.

The cost of the program is $65 per student and includes all supplies. Due to generous contributions from Wacker Chemical Corporation, scholarships are available to students who qualify for their school’s free lunch program.

Registration is through the YMCA of Lenawee County, in person or by mail. For additional information, contact Pi Benio at 517-264-3901. Mahan Hall is located on Williams Street.
