| IRS990/Desc | 0 | Visual artsThrough the visual arts program at Sitar Arts Center, students discover a new means of self-expression while gaining skills in a wide range of artistic mediums as well as 21st century life skills such as creative and critical thinking and communication. In the Early Childhood Arts program, preschoolers explore a variety of art forms with their parents, creating an ideal environment for parent and child engagement. In Arts Afterschool, school-aged students choose from 30 different classes including studio art, pottery, dark-room photography, fiber arts, sewing and fashion design, mosaics and more. At Camp Sitar, elementary students have six weeks of daily arts classes and teens enroll in the twice weekly teen intensive. The summer teen intern visual artists are commissioned by corporate and nonprofit organizations to paint large scale murals to install on their buildings. |
