Creative Non-Fiction: Tell Your Story
The Coleman Center for the Arts is pleased to announce that Art Club will begin meeting again on Tuesdays from 4 to 6 pm starting August 12th.
This spring students will spend the semester exploring and creating documentary art and film! Students will screen and discuss full length and short films as well as some documentary photography and radio while learning about the techniques and tools that filmmakers, artists, and documentarians use to give their audience insight into the the world around them. Students will work together using the knowledge and skills developed over the semester to tell their own story in the form of a short film! At the end of the semester, the Coleman Center will host a public presentation of the work completed in Art Club.
No experience necessary! The program is free and all materials are included!
