The Art of Illustration (Apr. 8th- May 6th): Ever wanted to bring to life the words in your head or on your paper? Come learn how to illustrate stories, poems, nature journals, or whatever text and images your imagination can come up with. During these four days we’ll explore storytelling and visual images and use mixed media to create our own impactful illustrated works of literature, or are they art?
Fundamentals of Printmaking (May 20th–Jun. 10th): Come create your own series of prints! In these five days we'll try tons of different methods for creating prints, including block printing, screen printing, Risograph, and monotype gel plate printing. Explore different inks, colors, and methods to create bold images. Each day you’ll come away with a work of art. |
REGISTRATION IS REQUIRED. For Teen After School Art, we offer pay-what-you-can pricing. We are a small business and recommend a minimum of $5 per day that your teen is here (or $25 per section listed above), though no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Please pay what you are able to help us provide our teen programs through Bal-Art.org.
Support These Programs
Push/Pull and Bal-Art's Teen Art Programs are free for students and their families. If you'd like to support our ability to continue offering these opportunities for students, please consider making a contribution!
