SPARK! for Grades K-2nd
SPRINGVILLE - Not sure what to do over Summer break? Springville Center for the Arts (SCA) announces that SPARK! for grades K-2nd will meet on Friday mornings, 10:00am-noon July 11th to August 15th. Modeled after the Reggio Emilia approach to learning “process over product,” each class seeks to stimulate children’s overall learning and creative expression through artistic mayhem. Cost is $90 for all six sessions or $80 for Art Center members.
SPARK! embraces and cultivates each child’s individual creativity and spirit through contact with the arts. “Kids will get their hands on a number of materials - from found objects, cardboard boxes, and wooden blocks to clay, paint, and beads. There will always be an opportunity for kids to experiment and find their own artistic voice,” said SCA's Visual Arts Interns & Summer SPARK! Instructors, Grace Fox and Rebecca Povill.
The program meets at Art’s Underground, located at 66 East Main Street in Springville. To register or receive more information on SPARK! visit SpringvilleArts.org or contact 716-592-9038.
