Movement and gesture
In ASCC faculty member Maj Kalfus’s class “Gesture Drawing” an art model poses in 30-second intervals, allowing students to learn the art of capturing the human body in motion.
Creativity for all ages
As part of ASCC’s spring 2015 “Art in the Library” program, students created puppets based on Lewis Carroll’s “Jabberwocky” at the Claverack Library. Additional free programs for grades 1-12 were taught by ASCC faculty at the Chatham Public Library, North Chatham Public Library and the Valatie Free Library.
