EXTENSION PROGRAM

The objective of the Extension Program of the Escuela de Artes Plásticas is to contribute to the artistic and cultural development of the community. It offers a learning opportunity in the visual arts, through a program of short courses and art workshops lasting ten weeks.

The Program allows children, young people and adults to develop their creativity, be fulfilled as human beings, and improve the quality of their lives. The courses are designed both to initiate students in a discipline as well as to perfect skills that have already been acquired.

The Extension Program includes specialized courses in computer use that range from the basics to using this resource in designing art.

The children's workshops are organized by development stages, to address the particular creative needs of each participant.

The Extension Program also offers advanced courses that will allow interested students to develop and perfect skills acquired in basic courses.

In each workshop students create works that demonstrate the application of the elements and principles of fine workmanship. On fulfilling the requirements of the Extension Program students will be awarded a certificate of participation.
