Saturday Art Program

The Saturday Art Program at DAAP is for students in grades K-12 from the Greater Cincinnati community. Saturday Art integrates the act of making meaning with the world in which we live and embraces a diversity of ages, aptitudes, age-related developmental levels, and social cultural perspectives.

Art inquiry is taught by UC DAAP students preparing for Visual Arts Education licensure in the State of Ohio and supervised by professors of Arts Education. During Saturday Art, students engage in exploration, inquiry and investigation of materials, themes, historical influences, contemporary art practices, and interpretation.
