Department of Art accepting applications for after-school program
The University of Maine Department of Art is accepting applications for the after-school ArtWorks! Program.
As it has for more than 30 years, UMaine’s Art Education Program will offer the program for students in grades K–8. ArtWorks! provides children an opportunity to explore the world of art through hands-on experiences with a variety of visual media, the history of art, and the viewing of artworks.
The classes are organized by grade level and are taught by art education students who are preparing to become art teachers. The program is supervised by Constant Albertson, a UMaine art professor.
The fall ArtWorks! session will run five consecutive weeks from 3:30–5 p.m. Fridays in Lord Hall on the UMaine campus. The session begins Oct. 14 and continues through Nov. 11. The first four meetings will be classroom days, and the last meeting will be an exhibition. The Nov. 11 reception will be held to view the work of participants and hear presentations from the art education students leading the program.
A $25 fee covers the cost of materials, and a limited number of scholarships are available. The program is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Applications are due Oct. 2.
For more information or an application, contact Albertson at 581.3251, constant.albertson@umit.maine.edu; or the Department of Art at 581.3245. Lord Hall is wheelchair accessible.
