On Jan. 24, 2021, the
standard Winter/Spring art class schedule will start,
offering both onsite and virtual workshops. This will be the
first time since March that onsite classes resume at TMA.
The Museum's new sculpture studio will be open, providing a
space for sculpture classes to be taught for the first time
since the summer of 2019. The deadline for registration for
Session 1 is Jan. 10, 2021, with classes beginning the week
of Jan. 24. For Session 2, the registration deadline is Feb.
14, 2021, with classes beginning the week of Feb. 28.
A special virtual drawing
workshop for adults will feature contemporary artist Robyn
O'Neil as the instructor (World-Making with Robyn O'Neil).
Robyn's large-scale graphite on paper drawings are part of
the exhibition Telling Stories: Resilience and Struggle in
Contemporary Narrative Drawing, currently on display at TMA
through Feb. 14, 2021.
"Like all classes at TMA,
drawing classes, whether for adults or children, create a
healthy distraction from the very real challenges we face
today," said Mike Deetsch, the Museum's Emma Leah Bippus
director of education and engagement. "Research has shown
that looking at and making art reduces stress and anxiety."
Children will have a broad
variety of classes to choose from, including digital
photography techniques, mood-board creation and drawing with
chalk pastels. Adult classes include ceramic tile design,
watercolor stationery creation or jewelry design.
Scholarships are available
to cover 100 percent of the registration fee for most
Session 1 and 2 classes. The deadline for scholarship
applications for Session 1 is Jan. 10, 2021; and for Session
2, the deadline is Feb. 14, 2021. For more information on
class scholarships visit toledomuseum.org/education/classes.
