Students will be taught by qualified art teachers.  While the curriculum is not yet determined, classes likely will include oil painting – including still life and maybe plein air, drawing – including grid drawing, tie-dye garment, locker décor ideas, and pottery.

Pottery
SICA pottery is located in the Don Hill Crafts and Pottery Barn. Potter's wheels, kilns, and slab working areas are available during the Saturday afternoon sessions. A minimal fee is charged for materials. A qualified potter takes beginners and experienced potters alike through excercises of various techniques in throwing, forming, glazing and firing.

Open Studio
Our classroom studio is open to members who enjoy setting up an easel and doing their own thing. Our "Wednesday Group" is a group which likes to work together so they can share lunch and do their art work. Many say they get more done with friends than they would at home by themselves. You may come and visit or try your hand at something. They are always willing to help the beginner get started. They meet on Wednesday at noon. We encourage other groups to organize so that we may have "Tuesday Groups, Thursday Groups, Friday Groups, Saturday Groups, etc."

Outreach Programs
The Art Center provides teachers and docents into classrooms in the area to present a variety of programs. The Art Smart program is one of our main programs. It is a slide program giving a history of certain periods of art and artists. Other Art teachers actually teach units in the classroom. We have artists who attend career days at schools and explain to students about careers in art. Interested in participating in Outreach Programs? Contact the art center at (812) 522-2278

Music Recitals
The Art Center has an Acrosonic piano available to members for practice and for piano recitals. The main gallery has a niche which is a perfect area for performers. The wood floors add to the quality of the acoustics. Recitals and musical programs are scheduled throughout the year. Piano teachers who might be interested in using the Center for a recital should call 522-2278 to make arrangements.

Private Lessons
Qualified art teachers offer private lessons in a variety of media. Both children and adults can enjoy weekly hour-long lessons fitted to the student's age and ability. The students may select their media of choice. Costs are minimal. Call the SICA office for more information and scheduling.
