COURSE INFORMATION

Artist in Training - Secondaries Ages: 8-11

The Aspiring Young Artists Program (AYAP) is committed to providing young artists with the tools to develop their visual art skills.  The program goals are to encourage an interdisciplinary approach to creativity and to create a solid foundation for visual art techniques.  This program also encourages portfolio development in a fun and supportive environment.  Each class will finish with a group art exhibition.  This 22-week course is divided into two terms of 11 weeks each -- from September to December, and from January to April.  The final art exhibition will be held at the end of the course in April.
