Student work from the Skytop Art Workshops for Children, an offering of the art
education program in Syracuse University's College of Visual and Performing Arts
(VPA), will be exhibited in "The Big Show" on Saturday, April 4, from 1-3 p.m. in
the Panasci Lounge in the Hildegarde and J. Myer Schine Student Center. The
exhibition is free and open to the public. Parking is available in the Waverly lot.
The semester-long Skytop Art Workshops are taught by art education students
enrolled in the course "Methods and Practice in Teaching Art." Nine workshops in
two different time sessions are offered each semester for children ages 5-14. "The Big
Show" is the culminating exhibition. The workshops cost $65 for one child and $100
for two siblings; all art supplies are provided by the art education program.
