ORONO — The University of Maine Department of Art is accepting applications for the spring 2007 after school ArtWorks classes for area children, kindergarten through grade 7.

ArtWorks classes are held on consecutive Friday afternoons, from 3:30-5 p.m., March 23-April 20 at Lord Hall on the Orono campus. ArtWorks is a longstanding program that gives UMaine art education students classroom experience with children while providing art lessons for community youngsters. Classes are supervised by program director and art Professor Constant Albertson.

Seats will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis, and a waiting list of alternates will be kept in the event of cancellations. Students are grouped by age for classes and will have an opportunity to work with a variety of art materials.

A $25 course fee covers the cost of materials.  A limited number of scholarships are available.

The application deadline is Feb. 26. For more information or to obtain registration forms, please contact Constant Albertson at constant.albertson@umit.maine.edu or call 581-3251.
