As part of community outreach, Art Education offers fall Saturday Art Workshops for young artists in kindergarten through sixth grade. A highly successful program of more than three decades, the Saturday Art Workshops offer artistic opportunities for young students and provide authentic teaching opportunities for College of Education art education pre-service teachers.
Registration for the Fall 2024 workshops is closed.
Registration for our next session, which will take place in the Fall of 2025, will open in September 2025.
The Art Education Program and the College of Education are delighted to share that our 2024 Saturday Morning Art Workshop will be running a 7-week session for kindergarten through sixth-grade students each Saturday from September 21 to November 9 from 9:00 – 10:15 AM. This year, our program will culminate with an exhibition and closing celebration on November 16.
During the workshop, your young artists will undertake exploratory art-making activities led by University of Iowa preservice Art Education teachers. The lessons will be dynamic, playful, and suitable for children of all skill levels. No prior experience with art or art materials is necessary. Join us for workshops focused on clay, paint, large-scale sculpture, drawing, printmaking, and more!
The program fee is $75. Partial and full funding is available for families who find this fee to be a barrier and caregivers who are full-time students.
