Teacher: Meghan Taylor & Kenn Minter | August 5th-9th, 9:00am - 4:00pm | $350 ($325 Members)
Grades: 6th-8th 

This class is another LASC combo special.

Students will spend the morning with Meghan Taylor as you experience a walking tour of Downtown Lexington’s vast array of street art. Students will learn about the artists, their work and participate in guided discussions to describe, analyze and interpret each painting. Portable cameras will also be given for students to document and print images later in the week.

*Walking permission slips will need to be signed for the week.

*Parents will receive a map each day of the walking tour students will participate in.

*Students should wear comfortable clothes, a small backpack with water bottle, snacks and sun protection.

The second portion of the day will be spent with local professional artist and cartoonist, Kenn Minter. Kenn Minter has been drawing and cartooning for over 40 years! He brings extremely valuable resources when it comes to portfolio work. Students are encouraged to bring their portfolios to class, in order for Kenn to help them “punch up” their work. Don’t have a portfolio yet? No problem! Kenn will also be helping students begin their portfolios. Exploring with lots of different mediums, students will learn valuable art skills including drawing, cartooning and more.

This class will meet in person at the Living Arts & Science Center. Parents should provide two peanut free snacks, one lunch, and a personal water bottle for their child.
