The Museum of Art | Fort Lauderdale, Nova Southeastern University, announces the return of its popular Creative Summer Art Academy (CSAA).  Open enrollment begins April 1 for the two-week art workshops, which offer students focused instruction by local, professional artists and art instructors.

Five, two-week sessions will be offered beginning June 14, 2010 and continuing through August 20, 2010. 

Also, a Musical Theatre Production class will be offered during sessions III and IV for ages 9 – 12 in collaboration with the Inside Out Theatre Company. 

Students may sign up for as many workshops as desired.  High school students are encouraged to attend all sessions as CSAA has enabled past high school attendees to attend prestigious art schools around the country. 

WHO:
Grades 1-4
Painting, drawing, and design are explored using a variety of materials, with an emphasis on creativity, exploration, art vocabulary, and experimentation.

Grades 5-8
Subjects covered include design, painting and drawing. Workshops build on the elements of composition, vocabulary, creativity, and the overall process involved with creating a work of art. Set Design will be included in the curriculum during sessions III & IV in conjunction with Musical Theatre Production class. 

Grades 9-12
Students will be introduced to Anatomy & Structure (study and analysis of the skeleton and muscular structure of the human figure) using a variety of live models and reference to the skeleton.
