KIDS CAN HAVE FUN WITH ART AT SOUTHEASTERN SUMMER WORKSHOP
       HAMMOND -- Registration is now underway for Southeastern Louisiana University’s popular Children’s Art Workshop, sponsored by the Department of Visual Arts and the Division of Continuing Education.
       Young artists, ages 5-14, can participate in morning or afternoon sessions of the annual summer workshop, which will be offered from July 11-21, Monday-Thursday. The morning session is scheduled for 9:30-11 a.m. and the afternoon session from 2-3:30 p.m., both at Southeastern’s Clark Hall.
       Under the direction of Southeastern art education students supervised by visual arts professor Ron Kennedy, students will create artwork in a variety of media based on the theme “Land, Peoples and Cultures.”
       Kennedy said students will model with Crayola’s Model Magic, create mixed media collages, paint paintings, and make prints. Older students will complete at least one photography-based project.
After seven days of art lessons, students will participate in an “Art Open House,” a display and celebration of their work.
       Enrollment is limited to 75 students per session. The cost is $50. Children will be enrolled on a first come, first serve basis.
       Information and applications are available online at www.selu.edu/summercamps and at Continuing Education, located in room 103 of the University Center on University Ave.
       For more information, contact Continuing Education at 985-549-2301 or 1-800-256-2771.
