Wendi Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Help! I was hoping to find a place where ds (14 years old) could take some art classes. The city recreation department has really cut back on their offerings. The art museum isn't offering any. Where should I look? Wendi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laughing lioness Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 On my blog for an awesome program give away! Whitney Ferrare has created a program that looks fantastic! I am doing a 4 week interview series with her and at the end of the series someone is going to win the program and her book. But, you have to sign up for the drawing!

Cera Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Try calling local galleries. This is how I found a pottery class for my kids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snickelfritz Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 Hobby Lobby or Michaels or any art supply store. Larger stores offer classes. Our local store even occasionally offers home school geared classes during the day. Many stores may keep bulletin board postings or just know who to recommend. Art teachers from local schools, public or private. Several private schools here do extra after school or summer classes and are willing to open it up to outside students. Does your city have any sort of email list? Word of mouth is powerful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 We have a place in our county called ______ County Council For The Arts. They have adult classes all year and kid's classes/camps in the summer. Do you have something like that near you? We also have a montessori school that does art classes and camps in the summer (among other things). The YMCA occasionally does art-related stuff. And some pottery type places might do pottery classes or something. You might even be able to contact your area public school and request an email address or contact number for the art teacher and see if they can point you in the right direction. Or see if you can come across some high school or college art students that might want to "tutor"/give lessons. Worst case scenario there are always DVD or computer based art programs! Good luck!
