Art students at the Art Beat program taught by Morgan Shepherd gathered on Feb. 3 to display what they’ve learned and created during session one.
“We’ve used all different mediums, like paint and pencil, and we followed the seven styles of art, including human figure, portrait, still life and landscape,” said Shepherd. “They did a project for each one of those styles. Then their parents and family get to come and see what they’ve done and worked on since September.”
Art Beat was created during the summer of 2011, with a grant from the Summer Company program, and Shepherd had enough success to carry the program through. Session One included 17 youth, and Session Two will start this week.
The 18-year old teacher will continue with the Art Beat classes until she goes away to hairdressing school, and is considering starting adult classes as well, but is doing more research before making that decision.
