SUMMER ART ACADEMY

The Summer Art Academy provides elementary and middle students the opportunity to develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills while exploring a wide range of media and cultures through a thematic, integrated approach to art.  Activities will include weekly field trips based on integrated themes.  Fees (which include all supplies and field trips) are $50 for Norfolk residents and $125.00 for non-Norfolk residents.  Students may ride buses at the designated summer school sites or provide their own transportation.   NOTE: Student exhibitions will be held on Mon., July 14, 2008.
