Art Adventures for Kids and Teens

By Vanessa Maranon (Manga Character Creation with Dana Yang)

 

Along with the annual Student/Faculty Show open now in the Gallery, we’re showing off work by our young, budding artists (ages 5 and up) on the second floor of the Torpedo Factory.

Stop on by to see artwork by students in Art Fun-damentals (ages 5–8), Drawing and Painting (ages 9–12), The Art of Cartooning (ages 8 and up), Creative Drawing and Painting for Teens, and Manga Character Creation — and don’t forget these are only some of our 2-D classes! We also have classes and Summer Art Camps in photography, ceramics, jewelry, sculpture, fiber arts, and clay animation.

By the way, registration is open for Spring classes and Summer Art Camp! There’s more information and a full catalog of youth and teen classes and Summer Art Camp on our website.
