Service Description
[In-Person] Self-Guided Art: Mythological Creature Design by Tatum Banks & Katy Kleinhans on Wednesday evenings, 1/20/27-2/24/27 from 6:00-8:00 pm CST on Rice University campus Many self taught artists find their inspiration from within - their mind's eye shows them impossible landscapes, unusual colors, and unexpected shapes. Allowing the materials at hand to guide the art, one oftentimes sees greater creativity and vision from the self-taught. This type of artwork can be quick and done with little planning or experience! In this six week course we will create a work of art weekly, with some pieces taking two sessions. We will explore the possibilities of the following materials: cardboard, sculpting clay, Shrinky Dink, paint, marker, canvas and wood. Our theme over the six weeks will be designing our own mythical creatures! Tatum Banks will guide students through a finished example, then everyone will make their own with support. We will also visit the backgrounds and artwork of well known self-taught artists and discuss what it means to be an artist. You’ll see how even in its definition, this type of art resists easy explanations.
Upcoming Sessions
Cancellation Policy
Our classes operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with limited seating for up to 13 participants to ensure a quality learning experience. By registering, you reserve a valuable seat that may prevent others from joining. We understand that plans can change. However, cancellations made within one week of the class start date are not eligible for refunds. If you are unable to attend, we are happy to offer a course voucher, allowing you to apply your registration toward a future class of your choice. Parent/Guardian Attendance Policy Our program is designed to empower adults with IDDs to participate in classes at UT Austin alongside their peers, including both other adult students and college students. We encourage our participants to build self-confidence, practice age-appropriate social skills, and experience the independence of a college environment, just as any neurotypical college student would. To support this mission, parents and guardians are not permitted to attend classes with their student. However, if there are special circumstances—such as a need for assistance with personal care or concerns about behavior—exceptions to this policy may be considered. These exceptions require review and approval by our Executive Director, Kaelin Rubenzer, on a case-by-case basis. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
