The Saint Louis Art Museum has announced its schedule for fall classes and workshops for children, high school students, and adults.
On Sept. 25, there will be two sessions of a parent-child workshop entitled “Climbing Mountains, Sipping Tea: Exploring Asian Art.” The program is designed to give children ages 6 to 9 and their adult companions an opportunity to work together through gallery activities and studio art programs. Families will explore the Museum’s collections of Chinese and Japanese painting and then make their own art programs. Sessions are 12:30-2:30 p.m. to 3-5 p.m. Preregistration is required.
The fee is $10 per adult and one child; $6 per each additional family member. Call 721-0067, ext. 275 for further information.
There are two Visual Arts Seminars planned for high school students, both of which begin Oct. 15 and run for six weeks through Nov. 19.
The Art History program is for students in grades 10-12 and will focus on art history through study of the Museum’s collections. Students will explore the cultural background of artists and their work and will develop observational and critical thinking skills.
The program is free and includes lunch, textbooks, and transportation reimbursement to the Museum.
The program is from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. Also beginning Oct. 15 is a seminar for students interested in the Arts as a career. Open to students in grades 10-12, this free program will highlight career possibilities in the visual arts. Participants will be selected from interested public high school students who may apply through their schools.
A Printmaking Workshop will be held Sunday Oct. 2 and Sunday, Oct. 9 for students in grades 9-12. Participants will examine various printmaking techniques in the exhibition 19th Century French Prints, which includes works by artists Toulouse-Lautrec, Degas, Cezanne, Renoir, Manet, and Gauguin. Students will create their own silkscreen designs.
All materials are provided in the $22 fee.
The class will be held from 1:30-4:30 p.m. Preregistration is required.
To register for the printmaking workshop or for any information on the two six-week seminars, please call 721-0067, ext. 275 for further information.
