Huff post article Afternoon in the Arts What does your child do after school? Play video games, sit around on the couch, eat junk food? If you want to combat boredom and that crazy evening extracurricular schedule, sign your child up for an Afternoon in the Arts class! Each afternoon, we begin with an exploratory art class then move into gymnastics for fitness. Then, we offer an arts' class to further art education (Mondays are Movie Magic, Tuesdays are Music and Theatre, Wednesdays are Acting and Set design, Thursdays are Painting, Sculpting, Sketching and Fridays are Just Dancing!) RENTALS- Inspired Arts is available for your next birthday or other party event, but Winter dates are filling quickly....call today to get your event on our schedule. TEACHER of MONTH- Tyler Kern My name is Tyler Kern. I’ve been passionate about filmmaking ever since I can remember. But it wasn’t until my senior year at Morton High School when I enrolled in a television broadcasting class that I knew video production would be my career. After finding out that Morton no longer offers the broadcasting class that inspired my career, I decided to get involved with the Inspired Arts Academy. I have worked video production for over 1,500 live events for venues like Wrigley Field, Peoria Civic Center and U.S. Cellular Coliseum. I am currently the Director of Video Production at the U.S. Cellular Coliseum where I supervise and direct all live events for the Jumbo-tron. I also work as Director of Video Production at Normal Community High School, where I work with high school students to direct the entire production of home football and soccer games for their newly added Video Scoreboard. When I’m not working those jobs, I own and operate Totally Kreative Video LLC, a live event video production company. We are the official videographers for the Morton Pumpkin Festival, the Bloomington Thunder Professional Hockey Team and Bloomington Flex Professional Basketball Team. In my free time I enjoy writing screenplays and playing basketball. My students will learn the three phases of filmmaking – pre-production (writing) production (directing) and post-production (editing). We will write, direct, and edit music videos, television commercials, and work as a team on a feature length documentary film. Hannah’s Red Rocket Endowment Fund- Support at Eli’s this December!
