Options for Nonmajors

Elective Courses

While Herron's primary emphasis is on its degree programs, the school also provides a broad range of instruction for adult nondegree students and for university students who desire to learn about various phases of art on an elective basis. Generally, the courses have either no prerequisite requirements or modest prerequisite requirements.

Enrollment in any of these elective courses does not in itself constitute admission to any of the Herron School of Art and Design degree programs.

For complete information, including detailed course listings and admissions procedures, please contact the Herron Student Services Office at (317) 920-2416.

Community Art Programs

Saturday School

Herron's Saturday School, established in 1922, provides art instruction for youth (12 years of age) through adults seeking to learn artistic techniques and build portfolios. Classes include drawing, painting, illustration, sculpture, ceramics, photography, animation, printmaking and computer imagery. Instruction is provided by capable junior and senior Herron students working under faculty supervision. The combination of quality instruction and an art school environment encourages exceptional development of creative skills.

Partial scholarships are available through local high school teachers. For more information call (317) 920-2451.

Summer Honors Art Workshop

The Herron Summer Honors Art Workshop is an intense program of instruction for high school students and recent graduates who are interested in summer art programs. Instruction in drawing, design, theory, three-dimensional design, and printing is provided by a Herron faculty member, and assignments are carefully selected equivalents of those given to Herron's first-year students. The moderate class size leads to quality instruction.

During the workshop, visiting artists will talk about their work and introduce students to various career opportunities in art. A series of planned field trips provides meaningful exposure to many aspects of the art and opportunities to do artwork in the field.

To qualify for the Summer Honors Art Workshop, a student must have completed the sophomore year of high school. For more information call (317) 920-2455.

Youth Art Camp

Launched in the summer of 2002, Herron's Youth Art Camp offers an educational program for the youth of Indianapolis. Students actively engage in a productive series of studio activities geared toward personal and artistic development. Instructors inspire a new awareness of the students' own artistic heritage, while instilling the value of art as a means of personal and cultural expression. Tuition waiver is available for those in need of financial assitance. For more information, call (317) 920-2414.
