Youth Lab
Tuesday
3:30pm–5:30pm
Our young artists are growing up, and Lux has developed a new program just for our 8-11 year-old students. Youth Lab is a studio course organized as a way for our students to work both independently and collaboratively on pieces that will be exhibited at the end of twelve sessions. Rather than having projects planned by our instructors, Youth Lab encourages students to consider how they will choose to interpret and translate their own ideas while experimenting with a variety of mediums including photography, video, and sound.
Tuesdays, 3:30-5:30pm

October 3, 10, 17 (no class Oct 24, 31 due to Fall Break Camp)
