February 2016 news!

News from Art Student Academy

So much has been happening and is going to happen in 2016! So a recap:
What has happened: We previously shared that after 4 years of holding many of our art classes in downtown Wake Forest, we moved all of our classes back to our professional art studios outside Franklinton, NC. That address is 2109 Old Mill Farm Rd, Franklinton, NC 27525.
Secondly, we have partnered with Vance Granville Community College in both the Henderson and Louisburg locations to teach some of their art classes. Plus, after the VGCC Small Business Center sent me to the NC REAL (rural entrepreneurship through action learning) institute in Blowing Rock last year, I am excited to be teaching the SECOND Professional Art and Craft Entrepreneurship program through them! My first series of graduate students last fall was a great success and was held at the Vance Granville Farmer's Market.

That address is 2109 Old Mill Farm Rd, Franklinton, NC 27525. We hold our summer camps and adult "Artescapes" there, so it just fell into place!

What's Coming up!


art student class

NEW!  Our after school art class format has changed!
Instead of parents coming for 1 hour, once a week, I have made it easier for all by adding a 1 day art camp once a month! For the low cost of $45.00 per child, they'll be immersed in clay, paint, mixed media and all kinds of artsy stuff  from 9:30-2:30 on scheduled Saturdays once, possibly twice a month. The first Art Day Camp is Saturday, Sept 26. Check our calendar for dates through January!   http://artstudentacademy.com/Saturday-Art-Camps.html
teen workshops
What just ended: Summer Art camps for kids! What fun we had! We promise to add a few more camps next year but until then-check out our monthly day camps for your family artist!

The Community College Art Students!

Our classes at Art Student Academy accommodate ALL  ages-and we have a ball!

My Art Enrichment class is at the Vance County Community College and I have a dedicated evening class of participants :-)
So our most recent class was a mixed bag of subjects although everyone had acrylic paints!
Check out the examples of what they created below-Their homework? Practice blending! Wet on wet acrylics blend well if you work quickly and let the wet paint do all the work!
