Spring 2023 Session 2 Mural Intensive

Wednesday, February 22, 2023
10:00am - 12:00pm
Inner-City Neighborhood Art House

Please note that intensive art classes are for students who have aleady completed at least one session of homeschool classes at the Art House.  If you are interested in enrolling students for the first time, please refer to the regular Homeschool Art Class description to avoid confusion.  Intensive classes take place at the same time as the regular homeschool program (Wednesday mornings from 10 am- 12 pm).

Students ages 9 and up who have completed at least one session of homeschool art classes at the Art House may elect to take part in an intensive study with a professional artist from the Erie region over the course of each six-week homeschool session. Unlike our regular homeschool art class format, students who elect to take an intensive class will remain with the same teaching artist for the whole two hours rather than switching classes.  Students will learn about the instructor's art form and professional practices and will help plan and execute an advanced project based upon the artist's work.

Steve Mik will teach a mural class for the second session of classes.  Steve's mural class will run from February 22nd- March 29th from 10 am- 12 pm.  Steve is a professional mural artist, with numerous murals of his own displayed throughout Erie.  He has also collaborated with other artists to create public works of art for various initiatives in the region.  

Our intention with Steve's mural class is for students to plan and create a small-scale mural to be displayed in the Art House.  Students will learn about color theory, painting techniques, public art projects and design during this six-week course.

We look forward to offering this advanced learning opportunity, as well as future intensive lessons with Erie artists over the course of the next year.  For the third session of spring homeschool art classes, we will offer an advanced clay workshop taught by Caelin McDaniel.

The same $5 per class rate as regular homeschool classes applies.  If you would like to request information about scholarship opportunities, please email seeverett@icnah.org or call the Art House and ask to speak with Sarah Everett.
