October classes begin on Thursday, October 1. The deadline to register is Monday, September 28. The supply pick-up date is Tuesday, September 29, 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 student. Students must register and pay before the first class.
In October, students will be focused on the element of color in our children’s classes. We will be discussing the Neo-Impressionism movement, which is the time after Impressionism when artists like Seurat explored the technique of pointillism. Students can look forward to some fun paint projects! Classes will not meet on Thursday, October 22, (Fall Break), and a make-up date for that class will be announced.
