WINTER 2023/24 ART CLASSES FOR CHILDREN: 

Studio Art Practice Session I with Lacy Hamilton, 7-11 yrs
Six Tuesdays, 4:00-5:30 PM starting January 9, 2024

This class provides art instruction for 7-11-year-old artists, who will learn through tactile and visual exercises. Students will be introduced to studio practice in a variety of media including painting, ceramics, video art, and printmaking. They will practice artistic techniques, which they will use to help develop their own unique expression. The small class size will allow for more one-on-one collaboration and interaction between the students and teacher, fostering more individualized lessons and projects. Possible projects include papier-mâché, paper making, drawing, painting, jewelry making, ceramics, and more. Creativity and experimentation will be encouraged!

Art Time with Lacy Hamilton, 4-6 yrs
Six Wednesdays, 3:00-4:30 PM starting January 10, 2024

Art Time class, with 4-6-year-olds, combines artistic technique with authentic self-expression.  Fine art is about creative problem-solving and not about just following step-by-step instructions. This one-and-a-half-hour class, with a very low child/adult ratio, offers students the opportunity to be curious and open to new ideas while developing new skills.  Young artists will explore a range of fine art media, may include 2D and 3D, painting, drawing, printmaking, paper-making, ceramics, video art, and more.  We open with circle time and sketchbook time. This will be a fun and informative class for young artists that are 4-7 years old.

Attention Parents/Guardians:  We will send out text/email reminders and updates through the MyRec software.   Please make sure that notifications have not been turned off and confirm your settings are correct.  If not, you will miss out on valuable information pertaining to your child’s class.

Please have young artists wear clothes appropriate for messy art fun (they might get paint or other permanent marks on them).  We will use smocks when possible, but they may not prevent stains on clothing.

The Arts Education Department at Lyndon House Arts Center is dedicated to providing high-quality arts education curriculum and enrichment to youth, adults, and teens in the Athens area. We host adult evening classes, workshops, after-school youth classes, 3 Teen Clubs, and a comprehensive summer arts camp experience.  The Arts Center includes 7 professional-level art studios including Painting/Drawing, Printmaking, Fiber, Photography, Ceramics, Sculpture, and Jewelry/Metals. There is a separate children's wing with wonderful facilities, a covered outdoor work court used as an outdoor studio and grassy lawns.
