Saturday Art School

An engaging and informative art experience.

Children (grades K-6) will embark on an engaging journey into spring through the world of visual arts or drama. They will participate in a range of arts-based activities that will aid them in growing into proficient artists or performers.

Three four-week classes are available for Spring 2025:

Grades K-2: Growing in Spring
Grades 3-5: Little Things, Big World
Grades 4-6: Exploring Storytelling through Drama

Our pre-service teachers take the lead in this hands-on field experience, supervised by Dr. Marjorie Manifold, who has had decades of experience as an arts educator. This is a unique opportunity for them to interact, guide, and inspire young minds while refining their pedagogical skills.

As a grand finale, we proudly host an exhibition to showcase the magnificent work of all our students, giving children and parents a moment to celebrate their achievements together.

The cost of the program is $25 per child and includes all materials. A limited number scholarships are available. Reduced cost available for families with more than one child) Parents registering more than one child will get one free registration (i.e. 3 kids; $50 total registration costs).

Contact Daniel Theus at (812) 856-1794 or dwtheus@iu.edu for more information.

Parents and Guardians must escort children to classrooms at the start of class and pick children up from classrooms afterward. We cannot permit children to be dropped off or picked up outside the building. Parking is available at the Jordan Avenue Parking Garage.

For any refund, notification must be made to IU in writing.

No refunds will be provided after the first session on October 19.

No refunds will be given due to canceling for inclement weather. Rather instruction will shift to online for all children that week and ZOOM information will be sent via email that Saturday morning.

Our goal is to build a positive learning community for all children. To achieve this goal, it is important that ALL children respect each other’s space, ideas, and materials. Therefore, if a child’s behavior is preventing the class from developing a positive and supportive learning environment we will contact parents/guardians to discuss options about continuing with the session.
