Openings in Children’s Arts Program

GREENVILLE – The Art-Rageous Experience – Children’s Art Program is now enrolling children in classes where they will experience visual arts each Saturday morning. This program, sponsored by Council on Rural Services, is a class where young children along with a parent can experience all kinds of visual arts in a local Greenville setting.

There are two hands-on classes on Saturday mornings for the child and parent together. These classes will begin on September 19 and taught by an experienced local artist. There is one class for 4-5-6 year olds and another for 7-8-9-10 year olds. Each class will include age appropriate art work that gives children a chance to explore and learn about different kinds of art and artists. Last year great some art projects included drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, coil pots and cultural masks, Classes may also include a field trip to an art exhibit, outdoor plein air drawing or a visiting artist.

We believe that cultural art is an important part of a child’s education. Art programs help young children get a complete educational experience. It develops the capacity to think critically, enhances academic achievement, and helps children develop a sense of competence and accomplishment.

Fees for the classes are family affordable, with scholarships available. These classes are also supported by funds from national and local foundations.

To enroll your child in this class, call Council on Rural Services at 1-866-627-4557 and ask for Debby Brayfield.
