After-School Art: Fall Session
Sep 13 - Dec 13, 2023
4 Early-Release Wednesdays: 1:30 - 3:30PM
Location: Aspen Elementary School
Concept
This fall, the creative world of Anderson Ranch Arts Center will be transported to the Aspen Elementary School! Kids who are looking to explore the wonderful world of art can join us after school on early-release Wednesdays in the elementary school art room for four afternoons filled with artistic exploration and growth. Featured activities include painting, printmaking, ceramics, photography, sculpture, and use of other mixed-media materials.
At Anderson Ranch Arts Center, we believe in the importance of art as a means of personal expression—a creative outlet for children to explore color, form, texture and composition. This program empowers children to build confidence, try something new, and have fun!
