Art Adventures Studio REGISTER TODAY
Grades K - 5 Fridays, 2 - 4 PM February 6, March 6, April 3 $75 (3 dates) $25 (single class) Join us to have fun through 3D art projects! With the guidance of teen mentors, students can approach structural, STEAM-based projects with a creative eye. Throughout each meeting, students will develop their art skills, as well as problem-solving, teamwork, and fine motor skills. Students can now join on a flexible schedule, picking just one, two, or all four dates from the Lexington Public Schools professional development days. This class is run in collaboration with Lexington High School’s Munroe Art Mentors Club, headed by co-presidents Hannah Sul and Khadijah Khan. The program was developed to provide more opportunities for local students to connect, after Sul joined MCA's volunteer community and summer camp staff. The club encourages local teens to get involved in the arts, participate in the community, and develop leadership experiences as positive role models for younger student bases. |
