Precollege Classes

Saturday Art Classes for High School and Junior High School Students

The Herron Saturday classes provide a wide range of learning experiences for the high school or junior high school student who is especially interested in the visual arts. Sixth-grade students will be accepted if the grade is part of a middle school program. Instruction is provided by capable junior and senior Herron students working under faculty supervision. The combination of quality instruction and an art school environment encourages exceptional development of creative skills.

Partial scholarships are available through local high school teachers. For more information call (317) 920-2451.

Summer Precollege Art Workshop

The Herron Summer Precollege Art Workshop is an intense program of instruction for high school students and recent graduates who are interested in summer art programs. Instruction in drawing, design, theory, three-dimensional design, and printing is provided by a Herron faculty member, and assignments are carefully selected equivalents of those given to Herron’s first-year students. The moderate class size leads to quality instruction.

During the workshop, visiting artists will talk about their work and introduce students to various career opportunities in art. A series of planned field trips provides meaningful exposure to many aspects of the art and opportunities to do artwork in the field.

To qualify for the Summer Precollege Art Workshop, a student must have completed the sophomore year of high school. For more information call (317) 920-2455.
