Children's Art Classes

New eight-week sessions of Children's Art Classes will begin at The Log Cabin Center for the Arts on Saturday morning, Jan. 8, at 9 a.m. and 10:30 a.m.  The Log Cabin Art Center is a part of The Center at 12700 Southwest Highway in Palos Park.

Art instructors Jessie Schaar, Sarah Heflin and Maggie Martin will teach the children to use a variety of artistic media and techniques, including drawing, painting, papermaking, papier-mâché, printmaking, pottery and more.  Children are divided into three grade-level groups: K-1^st, 2^nd-3^rd, and 4^th-8^th graders.  The natural areas of The Center's farm and woods provide subject matter, inspiration and sometimes the raw materials for the classes. 

Program Director Lois Lauer says the classes combine the worlds of art and nature, and are kept small to encourage individual self-expression.

A class fee of $88 covers all supplies.  Advance registration is required.  For information, call The Center at (708) 361-3650.
