INTRO — HELLO THERE

Life does not simply happen to us. Every idea we encounter, every thought we have, and every choice we make shapes our experience of the world around us. But what makes life more than a series of experiences? How do we come to see the bigger picture?

Creativity is the bridge between perception and action. When we create, we don’t just live life; we engage with it. We solve problems and explore possibilities. We uncover new expressions of timeless emotions. We communicate in a universal language. We strengthen the foundation from which future generations will reach higher and see farther than we ever could.

Kendall College of Art and Design of Ferris State University’s (KCAD’s) Continuing Studies program exists to help people of all ages unlock their creative potential. We offer a diverse array of courses designed to build new skills, strengthen existing ones, and empower individuals to lead more successful and stimulating lives, both personally and professionally. What’s more, new courses are being developed all the time.

This winter/spring, experience the city of Grand Rapids through the lens of a camera in the new Street Photography (p. 11) course. Looking to build a web presence? Learn how to make a stunning and affordable custom website in the new Website Design (p. 13) course. Or, learn to

capture memorable experiences on paper in the new Quick Trip Sketching Workshop (p. 19) course.

Whatever you want out of life, your creativity can help make it happen. Embrace it, and embolden yourself by signing up for a course today.

Fee for Early Arrival or Late Pick Up. A fee of $15 per 15 minutes will be charged for any child under the age of 18 who is present without their parent or guardian in the building more than 15 minutes prior to or after the end of class.

Health Form and Waiver. Youth students are required to turn in a completed Health Form and Publicity Waiver prior to the start of class or day camp. The form can be mailed or brought in on the first day.

Drop off and Pick up of Youth. All youth must be dropped off at the 17 Pearl St Woodbridge N. Ferris Building, and accompanied into the building by an adult. All youth will be accompanied by an instructor to their classes. When arriving late, parents may accompany their students to class. Parents are required to identify themselves to the instructor or a staff member on the first day of class and to sign out all youth ages 12 and younger when they return to pick them up. Prior arrangements need to be made with our staff if an adult other than the parent or guardian is picking up a child. An adult staff member will supervise the lobby area for fifteen minutes prior to the beginning and after the end of all classes. We encourage parents to arrive early to pick their child up directly from the classroom. At the end of class, instructors of youth ages 12 and younger will escort remaining students to the lobby where our staff will supervise students until parents arrive. You must sign out your child, ages 12 and under, with the instructor or staff member.

Location. Students will be notified in advance by email of their room and building location. Signage will also be prominently displayed in the entrance of both buildings. All youth students will meet on the first floor of the Woodbridge N. Ferris Building, 17 Pearl Street on the first day of all youth sessions.

Parking. On-street parking is free after 6 p.m. Monday through Friday, and all day Saturday. Parking in the lot directly behind the 17 Fountain Building, adjacent to Pearl St., is prohibited. Violators will be ticketed.
