Art Programs

Banner Neighborhoods' Art Programs meet for three ten-week sessions throughout the year: Spring, Summer and Fall. Paticipants currently include youth and young adults ranging from 9-20 years of age. The different Art Programs are as follows:

Monday: Movie-Makers

Movie-Makers is an art program that allows youth to experiment in different forms of story-telling through animation and film. Clay-mation and stop-mation are the main techniques used to make stories come to life. Using imovie, a computer program designed to edit movies, participants learn how to construct, capture, and edit films.

When: 1:30– 2:30 pm

* Open only to PPPCS students

 

Tuesday: Mural Program at William Paca

On Tuesdays the Art Club is collaborating with students from William Paca Elementary/Middle to paint a mural on the inside of the school's gym. The mural will depict kids of different ages, races, and genders participating in different kinds of recreational and sports activities.

Thursday: Art Club at Tench Tilghman

Banner has continued its trend of supplimenting afternoon programming with schools by providing art programming at Tench Tilghman Elementary/Middle School on Thursdays from 2:30 - 4:00 pm.

Poetry, paintings, drawings, photographs, stories, and collages are all mediums that can be included.
