AN ART LOVER'S VIDEO PRAISE OF TEACHING CHILDREN ART

Anne McColl, a volunteer from Hearst Elementary,  had such a great time volunteering with ArtCorps last year, that she wanted to find a way to share about it.

"I was blown away at the Art Show and took a lot of pictures. I then thought, wow, this would make a great video.  So I made one."

2010-2011 WORKSHOP SCHEDULES

All the 2010-2011 workshop schedules are posted on our website.  You can find them by clicking on your school's name on the Schools page.  

You can also "shop" for an alternate workshop time and location that may be more convenient for you on the Schedules page.  All our schools are listed alphabetically in a scrollable format.  If you find a workshop time that is good for you, please call or email the workshop leader listed to let her know that you will be attending.

And thank you for volunteering in this great program.  I am sure by now that you have found out how very popular you are with the kids on campus and hear, "Is it Art Corps day?" whenever they see you.

2010-2011 FAMILY ART NIGHTS

Art Corps is offering Family Art Nights again this year.  Family Art Nights are an opportunity for parents and students to experience art together.  Families are able to choose from one of three lessons.  This year we are offering Matisse Window, Van Gogh Starry Night and Klee Etching.   The first part of the lesson is an introduction to the artist’s life and samples of his work, followed by an explanation of the evening’s lesson, which includes a warm-up with the materials to be used.  Parents and their children then complete the lesson.  
Three Art Corps leaders teach the lessons.  The leaders set up the lesson, teach the lesson and clean up. The school provides the supplies.  The fee is $300 per night.  We have found that keeping the number of participants at not more than 90 provides the best experience.  
Here are two masterpieces from last year.
