Local art grad offers summer art program for kids
Jordan Baker
Make a masterpiece this summer.
Art with Andrea is a children's art
class in Seaforth where children
ages six to 14 can hone their cre-
ative skills under professional guid-
ance.
After finishing teacher's college
Andrea Longstaff, of Egmondville,
says, "I had to create my own job."
With a passion for art and a bach-
elor of fine arts honours degree in
visual arts she calls this opportuni-
ty a chance to give back to the com-
munity that supported her and that
she grew up in. Longstaff also
taught an art program in Goderich.
She says she discovered art in
high school and having inspira-
tional teachers
had an influence
on her.
"Art is learn-
ing about your-
self," she says
and wants the
kids to have fun
while learning
about art.
She says
learning outside
of school is
important for
children growing
up.
She wants
the students to
explore the possi-
bilities different

Each class the students focus on a
different medium of art and create
pieces -in- painting, printmaking,
sculpting,drawing and collage.
The last day of the programs is an
art show. Longstaff says, "It's their
opportunity to put on their own
show," adding, "They become artists •
in five days."
Parents can come in and see what
their children and what the other
students have created.
The programs don't break up into
age groups because Longstaff says,
"They learn from each other."

advantage of "something new" that
"children can enjoy."

July 18 or July 19, depending on the
program, and run to Aug. 22 or Aug.
