Letter from the School of the Arts Director:
Welcome to the 2008 Fall Session at the Athenaeum’s School of the Arts!
Fall is a time of creativity and preparation! Join us at the School of the Art for Fall and Holiday Flower Workshops with René van Rems. Welcome new Watercolor teacher James Millard in La Jolla and return to class with your favorite long time teachers. All School of the Arts students will prepare for the Student Exhibition during two weeks of December at the Park Blvd Studio! You can see what the other classes have accomplished, attend a great opening party, and maybe even sell some of your work!
We look forward to seeing you at the School of the Arts!

School of the Arts and Arts Education Director
******************
For almost two years the highly qualified art teachers of the Athenaeum’s School of the Art have exhibited their work at the French Pastry Café in Birdrock. Enjoy a cup of café au lait and a fresh croissant and see the paintings and watercolors and collages of our talented art teachers, each of them an accomplished artist in her own right. Elizabeth Washburn will show her expressive oil paintings during August and September. Following this exhibition you can see the children’s art from Christina Snell’s class in October and November, and in December Lori Mitchell will show her Pen and Ink drawings. The French Pastry Café is located at 5550 La Jolla Blvd, and is open Sunday through Wednesday from 8 AM – 6 PM, and Thursdays through Saturdays from 8 AM to 9:30 PM. For information call 858-454-9094.

****************** Since its inception in 1986 as part of the long-established
Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, the School of the Arts has grown
to reflect the artistic spirit and interests of the members of the
San Diego community who share a love of the arts. The School offers
students a classical education in the history, traditions, and principles
of the fine arts. Its faculty are accomplished and established artists
as well as outstanding educators dedicated to providing a stimulating
and encouraging classroom environment. By limiting class sizes,
the School provides the opportunity for individualized instruction,
allowing students to develop their own styles and artistic identities.
Appropriate for the full range of student abilities—beginner,
intermediate, and professional artist—the School's curriculum
includes courses that focus on helping students to develop technical
skills, creativity, critical thinking, respect for diverse aesthetic
and intellectual views, and the pursuit of excellence. The School of the Arts offers classes at two studio
locations: La Jolla (1008 Wall Street) and San Diego (4441 Park
Boulevard). Courses include drawing, painting, (oil, watercolor,
acrylic, encaustic), sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, letterpress,
book arts, photography, mixed media, assemblage, floral design,
and computer graphics. Classes for adults and children are taught
in eight-week sessions during the fall, winter, and spring. During
the summer, classes are generally one- and two-week intensive workshops
as well as eight-week courses. The School also sponsors special
workshops conducted by nationally known artists and organizes tours
to regional art centers and museums. The School publishes a quarterly
brochure listing course schedules and descriptions, workshops, and
tours as well as events offered by the Athenaeum Music & Arts
Library. For further information about the School of the Arts
and to receive a copy of our current brochure, please call 858-454-5872.
