NewARTS Fall Workshop

As the seasons change and the fall leaves blow in, it's time to sign up for the Care on the Corner NewARTS Fall Workshop. The program is for children ages 5 through 11 and begins on Tuesday, September 17, 2024.

Under the direction of Debra M. Cook, art students will develop their knowledge of artist skills using a variety of visual arts media while working with inks, oil pastels, watercolors, acrylics and colored pencils. NewARTS aims to inspire creativity with new mediums each week!

The classes meet on Tuesdays, September 17, 24 and October 1. Five to eight-year-olds meet from 4:00 pm – 5:00 pm. Eight to eleven-year-olds meet from 5:00 pm – 6:00 pm. The children will create Brilliant Neurographic Art, Radial Leaves Paintings, and a Pumpkin and Gourds Still Life.

Debra M. Cook is returning to teach these classes. Debra has been teaching ART to children for over 25 years. Her classes are so much fun - making art, exploring new ideas, and being creative. She imparts this joy to her students as she introduces new concepts and project ideas. She works to help each student develop the artist within them. Together they work on developing an understanding of the elements of art and explore how they can be used with a variety of art media. Debra encourages the children to have a positive attitude and try their best. It is her hope that they will continue to develop this positive "can do" approach in all areas of their lives as they learn and grow, not only as artists, but as the wonderful people they were meant to be.

Debra M. Cook is a Fine Arts Instructor, Sacred Artist, Botanical Illustrator, Iconographer and Photographer.
