JNAAG offering specialized art program for youth

Sarnia, ON – The Judith & Norman Alix Art Gallery is once again offering Art Pod, a specialized workshop designed for youth aged 10 – 14 with special needs and an interest in fine arts.

Led by practicing professional artists, Art Pod takes place one Thursday a month from September through November from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. A different art method is explored each month. No experience is necessary to participate.

Upcoming Art Pod sessions are:

• Thursday, September 21
  Shadow Watercolours: Use pencil and watercolour to discover the magic of shadows.
• Thursday, October 21
  Imagined Landscapes: Experiment with mixed media to create a landscape.
• Thursday, November 16
  Printed Maps: Create map prints using Gelli plates and string.

Participants can prepare for the session by visiting the Gallery’s website in advance for a social story, details about each class, information on the instructor, and materials used in each workshop. A caregiver needs to accompany each participant to provide support, and participants should be able to follow one-step directions.

Art Pod is a free program and registration is required. To register, please visit the Art Pod page on the JNAAG website.
