is to enhance the appreciation and knowledge of Italian language and
culture. Through our Italian Language Program, established in 1974,
we offer both daytime and evening classes at various levels for both
adults and children, taught by native Italians at our convenient location
in Downtown Bethesda and at the Friendship Heights Village Center in
Chevy Chase.
Artworks Fine Art Studio, with locations in Bethesda and McLean, is
GHGLFDWHGWRWHDFKLQJWKHIXQGDPHQWDOVRI¿QHDUW2XUSURJUDPIRFXVHV
on the fundamentals of drawing and painting. Classes take place in a
highly creative, instructive environment.
At Artworks, we believe that everyone has the ability to learn to draw
and paint. We use a unique step-by-step process which helps children
produce beautiful works of art while building self-esteem.
Children will speak, read and write using traditional methods, but also
will learn vocabulary and grammar by playing and moving, using the
Total Physical Response approach. They will learn Italian traditions by
creating artwork, singing songs, watching videos and reading stories. In
the beginners course children are introduced to the target language from
the start. Intermediate classes are held completely in Italian, and are
designed for children who have been exposed to the language, and who
need to reinforce their communications skills.
Students begin by learning basic drawing and pastel techniques, building
a strong foundation for learning the fundamentals of art. Enrollment is
ongoing.
