Family Classes
Family classes are designed for parents, guardians and children to interact and participate together. Our philosophy is to
honor the child’s creative impulses—focusing on process, rather than product. Visual art classes provide instruction in the use
of art materials and techniques, encouraging each child’s individual style of visual expression. We recommend both adult and child
wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Clean-up is part of all MAC Youth Art classes.

Visual Art Classes for Youth
Most materials are included in youth art classes. Unless otherwise stated, parents and guardians are not to attend class but
should stay in the building until their child is comfortable. Please have children dress for mess and be ready for a good time!
Clay students/parents please read the “Youth Clay Studio Policy” available on our website. Clay work must be picked up during your class
time or during open clay studio times only. Please allow 10 days from the last class to pick up your child’s work. This allows for firing time.
After 3 weeks from the last class, the work will be recycled (due to limited storage space).

Theatre Classes for Youth
Theatre classes develop confidence and self-expression through fully inhabited voices and bodies, clear communication and presentation,
focus, commitment, empathy and listening, teamwork and leadership and a feeling of community. Classes are ideal for beginners or as
a deepening investigation for those with experience. Student/teacher ratios are kept low to ensure everyone receives the attention they
need. A high priority is placed on creating a trusting ensemble and a safe environment for courageously exploring theatrical expression.

of acting out familiar rhymes and stories, along with the excitement of learning

a color. I fade into the background, where no one can see. Once,
an artist had an exhibition of white paintings. People came to view,
White on White, the finite variations on a theme. If they come to see,
they see the sun-splintered glint of triumph in the prince’s eyes
because he thinks he will possess me; they see the white rage
from the queen’s pores. The milky white fills each glass heart
when they imagine me because they do imagine me, the texture
and heavy winter breath those white paintings had. Niveous, I am,
albescent, the whitewash, the bleach, to make allowances for my own
ordinary face. I think about this, in the wet exhalation of morning,
the dewy down bed of lost leaves. I think of this in the woods
when I watch the spiders do their work, on webs white as me,
their silken spiral configurations, perfect, and I think about this:
if I had a name, what it would it be?

experimentation with line and
texture. Paper is laid on top of an
inked plexiglass plate. The artist then
draws on the back of the paper, using
different mark-making tools and
varying degrees of pressure. When
the paper is peeled back, the ‘positive’
image is revealed. A ‘negative’ image
remains on the plexiglass, which is
then run through a press. The plate
can be re-inked and printed a number
of times, allowing for variation on
the original image. Price includes a
$20 materials and studio fee which is

Inclusion Services for People
with Special Needs
Within the Americans with Disability Act (ADA) of 1990, Portland Parks &
Recreation (PP & R) provides accommodations to individuals with disabilities/
special needs, so that they may receive an equal opportunity to participate in
programs offered citywide.
How it Works
1. Choose the activity you would like to participate in, and then the PP&R
site where the activity is being offered.
2. Register for the activity. You can do this in person at a PP&R site, or
online at www.PortlandParks.org. When registering, let the person know
that you will need accommodations in order to participate in the activity
(online, check the box.)
3. Once registered, please contact Inclusion Services at
503-823-4328. If this is your first accommodation through Inclusion
Services you will need to do a phone intake with a staff member. At the
end of the phone intake, it will be determined whether an assistant will be
needed on the first day of the activity to provide on-site support. Future
assistance will be provided based on need. The inclusion staff will work
with the instructor on how to support you and your individual needs.
Important Details
A general program may be adapted using auxiliary aids and services, but the
basic structure of the program remains the same. Accommodations are made
as needed, and can be flexible and creative. Participants need to register for
activities that are intended for their birth age. Personal care is provided for
activities in the pre-school and youth category, up through age 12.
