ARTSMART

The ArtSmart program, hosted by the Arts Council of Moore County, will be a offering summer art classes. We seeks to develop the creativity of young artists by introducing new mediums, team collaboration and enhanced problem solving skills in a fun, stress-free atmosphere. ArtSmart's small class size, coupled with targeted age groups, allow the instructors more opportunity to tailor their lessons to the various skill levels of each student. No prior art education is required to enroll in the classes, which are categorized by age. The classes will be offered Monday through Thursday from 10am-12 noon in such subjects as drawing, painting, sculpture and various other mediums. Each session will hold classes one day per week for 3 weeks.

Ages 8-10 Mondays or Tuesdays

Ages 11-13 Wednesdays

Ages 14-18 Thursdays
