DREAMS COME TRUE FOR KIDS AND ART AT SLU THIS SUMMER       HAMMOND -- Dreams and imagination is the theme of a creative art workshop for children at Southeastern Louisiana University July 5-15 sponsored by the department of visual arts and Southeastern Continuing Education.       The workshop is for children ages 6 to 14-years-old, and is broken into a morning session from 9:30 to 11 a.m. or an afternoon session from 2-3:30 p.m. on the second floor of Clark Hall, located in McGehee Circle. The cost is $45 per child, and enrollment will be limited to 75 students in each session.       Children will sculpt models with Crayola’s Model Magic, create mixed media collages, make their own stencils, paint and make nature prints. Older children will also have the opportunity to explore photography technique using the department's darkroom and will complete two separate photography projects.       Children will be instructed by art students, under the supervision of visual arts professors Kim Finley-Stansbury and Ronald Kennedy. After seven days of art lessons, students will participate in an art open house, displaying and celebrating their art work.       Finley-Stansbury said that though the enrollment so far has been positive, she encourages all interested children to participate.       “We are looking forward to sharing our theme ‘Dreams and Imagination,’ with local school children at the summer art camp.  Enrollment so far has been very optimistic but we want every child who wants to participate to sign up,” she said.        For more information, call 549-2301 or 1-800-256-2771, or visit the Continuing Education Web site at www.selu.edu/Academics/ContEd/art04.html.
