Mayde Creek High School sophomore Michael Averitt has been selected as the first student to take part in a new training program to become a student ARTreach teacher.
The program supports students seeking extra-curricular art enrichment, and who are interested in training to be a student teacher available to assist in ARTreach programs.
Averitt’s primary area of interest is clay animation. He is learning stop-action filmmaking techniques and, once he has acquired the skills, he will be given the opportunity to practice teaching what he has learned to others in ARTreach outreach programs.
ARTreach is currently training volunteers and student teachers to support expanding programs. Volunteers can be trained and certified in a variety of ARTreach teaching methods.
Training courses are six weeks and cost $390, including supplies. Students are sponsored by ARTreach.
Art volunteers can be trained to teach clay animation, sculpting, illustration and painting techniques, as well as a variety of mixed media teaching methods.
Anyone interested in training to become a teaching artist certified to work in ARTreach programs, or who would like to nominate a student for the program, can contact ARTreach at info@artreachonline.org
