ORONO — The University of Maine Department of Art is accepting applications for the fall 2008 after-school ArtWorks program, allowing area children, kindergarten through grade 6 to explore the world of art through hands-on experiences in a variety of art media.
ArtWorks classes will be held Oct. 17 through Nov. 14, from 3:30-5 p.m., on consecutive Friday afternoons 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 will be supervised by Constant Albertson, associate professor of art.
Seats will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis until the class is filled. 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.
