Youth asked for it, youth got it.

The UNB Art Centre is answering the call for creative classes for youth and are introducing a series of art courses designed for individuals aged 12 to 17. The new courses will start in May on the UNB Fredericton campus.

“The UNB Art Centre has been offering Leisure Learning courses for adults and Design Works creative camps for children for about 20 years,” says Azza Seif-El Nasr, program and development coordinator for Leisure Learning and Design Works camps.

“Lately, we’ve had requests for courses dedicated to the youth demographic. We’re starting with three courses and plan to build on the course line-up in the fall.”

Andrea Blanca Cisneros Popoca, an established artist and experienced art teacher, will teach the inaugural courses:

• Print Making for Beginners - Tuesdays, May 3 – June 7
• Photo Transfer & Colour Exploration – Thursdays, May 5 – June 9
• Stencil Creation Workshop – Sunday, May 8

Seif-El Nasr says students should register early as these courses are bound to fill up fast. Anyone who registers at least two weeks prior to the course start date will get 15 per cent off.

"No art experience is required," she adds. "Just bring your creativity!”
