Summer Arts Programs At SouthShore Library
By Kathy L. Collins
Summer art classes will be offered for children as young as 3 to adults at the SouthShore Regional Library.
Summers are time for fun. Art classes are a fun way to spend the summer. Not only do they help to unleash creativity, but it is a chance to learn something new. Why not try a free art class at the SouthShore Regional Library this summer? The SouthShore Regional Library is located at 15816 Beth Shields Way in Ruskin. The free classes are made possible thanks to the Friends of the SouthShore Regional Library. The summer art programming will take place during the months of June, July and August. All art programming is for children in Pre-Kindergarten through adult. The classes are geared for all levels and no prior experience is needed. All materials are provided for each class. This summer, the art teachers at the SouthShore Regional Library will include Laurie Burhop, Tim Gibbons, Nicole Lamothe, Bruce Marsh, Melissa MillerNice, Patsy Monk and Cory Wright. According to Burhop, the Art Coordinator for the Crawford Studios at the SouthShore Regional Library, “Our art teachers come with varied backgrounds
in art. Most of them have art degrees. Some of them have taught art in public and private schools, and some have even taught at the university level.” Burhop added, “This summer we will be offering general children’s art classes for Wee Artists, Creative Artists, Expressive Artists and Adult/Teen artists.” The Wee Artists are children ages 3-6. These children must be accompanied by an adult at any and all classes. Creative Artists are children ages 7-11. Expressive Artists are children ages 11 and up. The Adult/Teen category is for anyone who is 16 years and older. Children’s art classes at the SouthShore Regional Library will explore painting, drawing, printing and craft projects. The Adult/Teen classes offered at the library this summer will include abstract painting, general drawing and Zentangle drawing, colored pencil drawing and intermediate watercolor. Registration is required for all art classes. Sign up at the Information Desk at the library or call 273-3652. Classes fill up quickly.
