PLEASE REGISTER EARLY

We hate to cancel classes, and we know you dislike cancellation calls from the Art Center, but we need to make a decision about a week before a session begins as to whether to run a class or not. Unfortunately, we get several calls after a class has been cancelled, so please help us deliver better service by registering early to secure your space in a class.

Registrations will be accepted after a class has begun if space permits and with the permission of the instructor.
Tuition is not pro-rated for students who enroll late.

Registrations are date stamped and classes are filled on a first come, first serve basis, so call us or send your form in right away.

Or call us at 952.473.7361, ext. 16. We can take your registration over the phone, or we can send you a free catalog and registration form in the mail.

FAMILY WORKSHOPS SPRING 2010

Our Family Workshops are planned to fit busy schedules; provide fun, meaningful, art education experiences; make the visual arts increasingly accessible to the community; and provide unique, constructive learning opportunities to kids and parents. Families, schools, and community groups can collaborate with the Art Center on creating special events, series classes, and workshops focusing on the visual arts for any educational need.

Please contact Leah Hughes, Children & Youth Program Director, if you have an idea for a special event or class you’d like to schedule:

EXPERIMENTING WITH WATERCOLORS
Instructor: Emily Taylor
Skill Level: All

Watercolors are an amazing and versatile medium especially when combined with other arts materials. In this class students will first learn basic watercolor painting techniques through small-scale projects. Once a basic understanding of the medium is established students will move into experimental techniques by combining watercolors with acrylic paints and modifiers, oil pastels, watercolor pencils and other arts materials. This is a great class for those students wanting to learn more about watercolors but want to push the medium in unexpected ways As with all family workshops and classes, children must be accompanied by an adult. Enrollment limited to 16; ages 5 and up
