Join the Mountain Valley Arts Council on Nov. 16 from 12:30 to 1:30 p.m. as they host Lanette Blankenship, a full-time art instructor presiding over Snead State Community College’s Art Department in Boaz. This Art Talks should interest parents and grandparents of school-age children since Mrs. Blankenship’s topic is “How Art Enhances Your Learning Skills.”
Lanette received her Bachelor’s degree of Fine Arts in 2011 from The University of Alabama at Birmingham and Master’s of Fine Arts in 2014 from Arizona State University in Tempe, AZ.
Since 2012, she has taught in graduate school, at non-profit after-school programs like Space One Eleven in Birmingham, AL, and with Auburn University’s Prisons Arts Education + Project where she went inside a prison to teach watercolor classes. With this deep background in art education, she is very well-equipped to discuss art and learning skills.
These monthly ART TALKS are free and open to the public since they are funded by Marshall County business sponsors including Citizens Bank & Trust, Sand Mountain Toyota, Rodney’s Flowers, MVAC members, and the City of Guntersville. Attendees will be surrounded by the current Holiday Art Market which features some 25 artists’ work that will make unique holiday gifts.
