Area grad inspires kids through classes
The Butler Art Center hosted a weeklong kids art camp in June taught by Slippery Rock University graduate Alina Glath.
Glath graduated in 2020 with a bachelor of fine arts and a concentration in the age groups kindergarten through 12th grade.
At college she taught paint classes as fundraisers for the Honors College, and every once in a while taught lessons for some professors in the art department.
“I've always had an interest in creating,” Glath said. “Whenever I was little, I would be creating, and we would go on roadtrips where I started drawing on my own until there were classes offered to help develop techniques.”
Just as Glath was able to strengthen her techniques in art during high school classes, she wanted to interest other kids in art as well.
