Torrance Center Announces Spring Challenge Explosions The University of Georgia's Torrance Center for Creative Studies is calling all challengers for their three-hour workshops for both art and science will be held on Saturday, March 20 and Saturday, April 10. Budding young artists from four years old through the 8th grade can learn some wonderful, user friendly, watercolor techniques to portray cycles in "As The World Turns... The Artist's View." Students will take an artist's look at the seasons of the year, times of day or metamorphosis of insects and seeds. Discover how to apply washes, and how to mix tones and tints to create different effects. Students taking both Saturdays of art will learn more advanced techniques on the second Saturday, while first timers will learn the basics. Aspiring young scientists will examine the daily, lunar and annual cycles in time and how matter cycles back and forth between the nonliving and living parts of the environment in "The Circle of Life." Students will examine such cycles as they study water, oxygen, carbon and nitrogen. They'll discover the life cycles of fruit flies and mealworms as they view them under the microscope. The Challenge Explosion is designed to help children explore and develop their creative potential. Over the past 20 years, thousands of youngsters have participated in hundreds of innovative projects and experiences. The workshops are open for students four years old through the 8th grade and are held from 9 a.m. to noon. Tuition is $19 per course, per child and all sessions are held on the UGA campus in Aderhold Hall. Applications and fees are due by Wednesday, March 3, 1999.
