Summer Art Classes 2012
Self-portraits: It's summer painting class, and Sarah Hummel (left) and Natasha Sampson are working on their self-portraits. The class, held at MOC-FV Elementary in Orange City, was sponsored by the Orange City Arts Council in conjunction with OC Parks & Recreation.
The Orange City Arts Council offers a variety of classes for youth and adults… sometimes painting and puppetry, other times acting, dance or photography, even a ‘memoir writing’ class for community members and residents of Landsmeer Ridge. Our summer 2012 classes are listed below.
