The West End Neighborhood Arts Council has provided eight area students with an opportunity to receive professional art instruction through a scholarship fund for the St. Louis Art Museum Saturday Classes. Students gain studio experience working directly with the Museum’s collection under the supervision of professional art instructors. Art in education is beneficial to a child’s overall growth. Art increases problem-solving techniques, creativity, eye-hand coordi nation and increases a child’s awareness. Students participating in the scholarship program are: Michael Mason, Adrian Long, Shannan Craft and Angela Morgan, from Hamilton School; Troy Petty, and Bea Stout from St. Roch’s School; Anna Price and Michael Castelli from Crossroads.
The Saturday classes are offered to Preschoolers (with their parents) through the senior high school level. Sessions are held each fall and spring for six weeks at a time.
