Space One Eleven Art Classes for Children and Youth, Grades 2-12

During Space One Eleven’s 14 week fall 2023 semester, young artists learn the elements of art and the principles of design through individually conceived projects and student collaborations. Space One Eleven’s philosophy is to provide an environment in which young artists can learn, create, explore, and forge their own path into the world of art.

Middle school students:
Review and build on the skills learned during CCA 1 and continue to explore new art mediums. Each student will work at their own pace and improve their art-making skills. In addition, young artists who wish to apply to the Alabama School of Fine Arts will receive guidance during the application process including portfolio review and development.

High school students:
Space One Eleven’s rigorous multi-media art class for high school students is designed to build visual communication skills and foster creative thinking. Students learn and strengthen foundation skills such as observational skills and technical control of various art mediums, and further their understanding of art theory and art history. With guidance from the teaching artist, students will develop and execute individually conceived projects.

Students are welcome to join the art class any time during the school year if seats are available. Class costs will be pro-rated for those who join later in the semester.

All skill levels are welcome!
