ORONO — The University of Maine Department of Art is accepting applications for the spring 2008 after-school ArtWorks program for area children in kindergarten through grade 7.
ArtWorks classes will be held March 21-April 18, 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 Laurie Hicks, professor of art.
The application deadline is March 10. Seats will be allocated on a first-come-first-served basis until the class maximum of 22 students is reached. 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.
For more information or to obtain registration forms, please contact Laurie Hicks at laurie.hicks@umit.maine.edu or call the Art Department at 581-3245.
