Evening Arts
This program serves to extend the artistic and creative possibilities offered to students during the academic day, by providing a wide range of arts based classes in the evening. It is an opportunity for students to try something entirely new, or to delve more deeply into an art form for which they have already developed a passion. The evening arts program provides a chance to explore diverse performing, visual and literary arts and crafts that include and are not limited to: blacksmithing, ceramics, fiber arts, figure drawing, broadside publication, sculpture, creative writing, jewelry, stained glass, photography, culinary arts, African drumming and dance, bluegrass, world traditions: music and dance, hip hop and songwriting. Several of Putney's performing ensembles are offered through the Evening Arts Program: Jazz Ensemble, Putney Singers, Madrigals, Putney Philharmonia and Dance Ensemble. Anyone interested in participating in the ensembles is welcome, though some experience for most groups is necessary, and a yearlong commitment is requested. Additionally, the theater program's fall plays and spring musical are sponsored by the evening program. The evening classes meet for 1 1/2 hours once or twice a week per semester. Students are required to complete two evenings of activities during each semester.With permission from the class deans and the program director, students may take additional activities. |
