Students Display Their Creativity

Tuesday, August 26, 2008 11:33 AM CDT

Earlier this month, students who participated in Restoration Ministries’ Gallery of the Arts’ Summer Session displayed their works of art at an Art Show for their families and community members.

More than 40 children ages 9 to 16 took classes at the new Gallery of the Arts during the summer session. Classes in tile mosaic, beginning and advanced pottery, painting, creative writing and photography were taught by area artists and art teachers.

Restoration Ministries founded the Gallery of the Arts in the summer of 2002 to give youth in the south suburbs access to quality visual and performing arts education. Students pay a $5.00 course fee which includes all art supplies. At the Gallery of the Arts, there are three classrooms, a pottery studio complete with five potters’ wheels and a kiln, a mini theatre and a gallery.

The Fall Session will begin on September 29. Classes offered this fall include beginning and advanced pottery, mosaic, photography, drawing, painting and mixed media. Classes are held at Restoration Ministries’ Gallery of the Arts at 15331 Broadway, Harvey, IL. To register or for more information, call Helene Kaiser at 708-339-1648.
