The Art Guild Announces Fall Class Schedule at CreARTive

Children and their parents were invited to The Art Guild at Elderfields Preserve for CreARTive, a fun afternoon of creative art-making, on Saturday August 22, 2015. Children worked with clay, made simple prints, tie-dyed t-shirts, sketched and created collages as parents mingled, toured the building and spoke to Art Guild staff and volunteers about upcoming fall classes for children.

“It was a terrific afternoon and a fun way to re-introduce ourselves to parents and children. It was a great way to show off our dedicated teachers, staff and volunteers. I think we made some new friends and hope that we’ll see them again soon, “said Susan Herbst, Associate Executive Director.

The following classes for children will be offered:

• Art Explorations (ages 5-7), six Saturdays beginning September 26, from 12:30 - 1:45 PM
• Children’s Art Studio (ages 8-12), six Wednesdays beginning September 30, from 4:00 - 5:30 PM or six Saturdays beginning September 26, from 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM. All classes are taught by experienced children’s art teachers.

Classes and workshops for adults have also been announced:

• Watercolor for All Levels with Eileen Neville on Wednesdays (eight weeks, beginning September 9) 9 AM - noon
• Drawing: Sharpen Up! For all levels with Stephanie Navon-Jacobson on Mondays (eight weeks, beginning October 26) 9 AM - noon
• A two-day workshop for adults will also be offered: The Art of the Still Life In Oils with Gregg Kreutz, on September 19-20. This workshop will focus on the drama in still life; how to turn simple props – pots, fruit, flowers, baskets – into compelling dramas of light and shadow.
