Session Dates

Recording Our Realities
10-14 year olds (inclusive class!)

Throughout history, drawings have served as an important way to record the world around us and tell others about ourselves. Sketching the objects and spaces around us not only helps to improve our observational skills but also allows for an outlet to express our feelings and attitudes towards a place and time in our lives.
During this special 6-week class commemorating Access Art’s 50th anniversary, students will be taken through the various steps of drawing objects that represent themselves and the world around them, as well as create their own sketchbooks and journals to display and preserve them for years to come!

Instructor: Lisa Franko
Time: Saturdays 1:00 p.m. - 2:30 p.m.
Location: 1724 McAlester

Here and There and Back Again
5-9 year olds (inclusive class!)

Doesn’t it seem like if you wait long enough, everything comes back into fashion?
This class will run in conjunction with our 50th anniversary celebration, and will be a great flashback to art of the past! Students will explore materials and projects from years gone by and we’ll talk about the ways art and fashion come back into style.

Time: Thursdays 5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m
