Art For All

List of available Art For All programs

 

What is Art for All?

Scouts, neighborhood and homeschool groups can join us for a fun, one-session workshop!  Choose from an array of new and time-tested projects including clay and theatre, or design a project suited to your interests.  For Scouts, Art for All can help meet requirements for both art and drama badges.

 

Who can participate?

Classes are available for children in Kindergarten and above!  Class size is limited to 15 for theatre and 12 for pottery with a minimum of 6.

 

When is Art for All?

Art for All is only available on Friday afternoons and begin between 3:30pm and 5pm.  However, homeschool groups may arrange for an earlier start time.

 

How Much is Art for All?

Each workshop is priced between $4.00 and $5.00 per student.  Workshops also vary in their lengths. 

 

How can I reserve a spot for my group?

Easy, Troop leaders or group parents can call Marselle Harrison-Miles at (770) 509-2700 for more information and available dates.  PLEASE NOTE: Art for All is an outlet for those wishing specific experiences in art and performance.  It is not for birthday parties or similar activities.

 

Available Art For All Programs:

 

Clay Handbuilding Workshop

Here is a great chance for your group to explore the wonderful world of clay!  Students will learn the basic techniques of ceramics and Scouts can gain skills towards earning their ceramics badge.  Group leaders must choose projects before class:  Pieces will be built in one class, glazed by the instructor and available 2 - 3 weeks after the class.

1st Grade and up/$5 per child, Length: 1 hour

 

Storytelling and Improvisational Theatre

Come experience a very unique workshop where your group will have a chance to explore the rules and structure of storytelling only to get the chance to reinforce those ideas by getting their first taste of Improvisational Theatre!  This is a high octane class built for maximum creativity and learning!

3rd Grade and Up/$5 per child, Length: 1 hour

 

Pottery Wheel Demonstration
