EDUCATION & THE ART SCHOOL
|
|
Art education classes are offered in a variety of media for all ages and levels of experience. Drawing, painting, ceramics, photography, and summer camps are the core of PCCA’s programming. In addition to its arts education offerings, PCCA contributes art class scholarships to local students with need through area schools and organizations, and awards two $1000 college scholarships annually to promising high school seniors from Wayne, Oakland and Macomb counties planning to further their fine art studies.
|
This class is for students of all levels of experience, who would like to enhance their knowledge of color theory and design. Students will learn how to apply these principles to their own artowrk, and in turn gain a greater sense of confidence, as they pursue their individual creative endeavors within the painting medium of their choice.
Faculty Profile:
