Department of Art accepting applications for after-school program
The University of Maine Department of Art’s ArtWorks! program for area children in grades K–8 is accepting applications until Oct. 6 for the fall 2017 session.
The program 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 art.
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. each Friday in Lord Hall. The session begins Oct. 13 and continues through Nov. 3, culminating in an exhibition and reception in Lord Hall on Nov. 10. The 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. The application is online.
