Registration open for SFA Summer Art Academy

Registrations are now being accepted for the 2004 Summer Art Academy offered by the Stephen F. Austin State University Department of Art June 7 through 18. Students in kindergarten through sixth grade may enroll in the classes that include bookmaking, drawing, painting, photography and sculpture.

“The academy offers an exciting introduction to the visual arts and an immersion into specific media,” said Gary Parker, SFA art instructor and director of the academy.

Classes are arranged by age and meet from 9 a.m. to noon, Monday through Friday, in the Art Building on Wilson Drive. After an exhibition on Friday, June 18, in the Art Building, students may take their work home.

The $140 registration fee includes all art supplies and exhibition expenses. Children of SFA faculty and staff may register for $125.

“Parents will want to register early since we limit the enrollment to ensure personal attention and instruction,” Parker said.

For more information or to obtain a registration form, call Parker at (936) 468-1758 or the SFA art department at (936) 468-4804.
