Saturday Morning Creative Arts Program: Visual Arts and Creative Drama
In the fall and spring, the College offers an outstanding opportunity for young people interested in visual arts and drama.
Visual Arts Classes (Kindergarten through 8th Grade) Join us as we creatively express individual thoughts and ideas using a variety of art materials and processes as well as learn about art and artists from various countries and cultures.
During the last art class, parents and friends are invited to observe and/or participate. Artworks created by the children throughout the program will be on display.
Creative Drama Classes (Kindergarten through 6th Grade) Join us for Saturdays filled with adventure this spring as we explore creative drama! In creative drama we will use our imagination, senses, concentration, voice and body to improvise from appropriate stories, poems, legends and world events. Parents and friends are invited to observe and/or participate in the last drama class. Download the Spring 2013 Flyer and registration form (pdf).
