About the Exhibit

In our Fall 2025 After School Art Time classes, students studied the portraits of Pablo Picasso and his unique artistic style. Using a variety of mixed media, they created their own Picasso-inspired self-portraits that celebrate creativity and individuality!

Amazing After School Art is an annual exhibition that highlights artwork created on Cedarhurst’s campus, at the Shrode Art Center, by children who live in Mt. Vernon and Jefferson County.

The After School Art time classes are taught by Kristina Klein and Carrie Stover, Director of the Shrode Art Center.

For more information on children’s classes at Cedarhurst call:
618-242-1236 ext. 248 or 249.
