The Children’s Fine Art Classes program engages and inspires the next generation of creative leaders by providing intensive, in-depth art experiences to visually talented and motivated elementary and middle school students. Since 1925, the program has offered concentrated studies in two-dimensional art that include studio practices in drawing, painting, and mixed media; art history; critiquing skills; and aesthetics. Each student is provided a $365 scholarship to attend so that economic status will play no part in a child’s participation or placement. An administration fee is paid by those who are financially able to support the program.
Students must be recommended into the program by an art teacher, teacher, principal, community leader (a person who knows of the student’s talent in the visual arts). To learn about how to get your student recommended contact Annette at annette@louisvillevisualart.org.
Instructors of the Children’s Fine Art Classes program have experience as art teachers or professional artists. The curriculum and assignments are developed to help children gain increasing mastery over the tools and techniques of the visual arts and to foster their cognitive abilities.
Each year, Louisville Visual Art hosts a gallery exhibit of the work from the Children’s Fine Art Classes. Every student from that year has work on display, providing them a chance to see their work in exhibition and to share that experience with their families.
