Classes are designed for preschool, elementary, home school, middle school, and high school ages. Students of all ages will actively participate in learning, while studying one of the major movements of modern art history each month. All classes will include drawing throughout the month in some form. Students will be exposed to a mix of mediums, including painting, printmaking, sculpture, collage, drawing, weaving, paper arts, and more. The schedule of classes is as follows:

Tuition is $90 per month for high school, middle school, elementary, and home school students (the member rate is $70), and $75 for preschool & kindergarten students (the member rate is $55). Preschoolers will need assistance from someone at home. Families must be current members of the Chesterton Art Center to receive the member rate.
November classes begin on Monday, November 2nd. In November, students will make their mark with vivid, bright colors, as we learn about the Fauvism Movement. Artists like Matisse and Derain will be discussed. Projects will include some local birds migrating through. Please join us.
Wednesday and Thursday students will be off on November 25th and 26th, so they will be offered a make-up day. The art supply pick-up date is Friday, October 30th, from 3:30-5:30 p.m. outside of the Chesterton Art Center. Miss Jen will be available at the pick-up for any questions or concerns. For any who are unable to pick up at that time, they will need to stop by the Art Center during regular business hours. Any supplies left from the month are kept by the students.
