Kentucky Derby Hat
IThis distinctive art class starts with the unique construction of a special hat that is different from any construction our participants have previously done. It is then that creativity kicks in as our young artists will be inspired by the events of the Kentucky Derby in order to make a sculptured Derby Hat. We are limited only by our imaginations as horses, people, buildings and landscape begin to romp in the constructions above our heads.
GRADES 1 – 6 TIME 1:00 – 3:00 COST $20/child Geneseo Park Dist # 33021-11

When you visit Smith Studio and Gallery you will realize teaching art to others is a very important part of our business plan. We have dedicated a large portion of our main floor gallery to setting up a classroom complete with large hard wood tables, good lighting, kid/adult height sinks and a public restroom on the main floor.
David Smith, owner and Illinois licensed art teacher, teaches all the scheduled and private art class at Smith Studio and Gallery. For over 37 years David has taught in both private and public schools at all levels; elementary though college. He has been recognized by the National Art Education Association as the “1994 Illinois Art Educator of the Year”; the Illinois Art Education Association as the “2011 Elementary Art Educator of the Year”, and in 2014 he was recognized as an IAEA Distinguished Member. On occasion you can find David teaching art workshops at the Geneseo Public Library and Geneseo Child Care; and Smith Studio is the official children’s art classes for the Geneseo Park District. David Smith did not retire from teaching art . . . he moved it into the Smith Studio and Gallery.
