"Two For Art (Ages: 2+)"
Tuesdays, October 3 - December 5, 2023
 

Join your child on a nurturing creative quest. Whether your child has already begun to show an interest in art or you are looking to introduce them to new media in a structured yet nurturing environment, this class allows even the youngest students to discover their creative side. Students work with air-dry clay, collage, paint, chalk and more. Our early childhood teachers encourage students to talk about their art, providing a great opportunity to learn new vocabulary, particularly words related to colors, shapes and textures, and emotions. Children learn to follow directions in a social setting with support and encouragement of their caregiver, serving as the perfect precursor to preschool. This class is for 1 child + 1 adult (parent or caregiver).

"Art Adventures (Ages: 4-6)"
Tuesdays, October 3 - December 5, 2023
 

In this course, children begin to identify differences in art such as: distinguish between bright and light, as well as dull and dark colors; find basic shapes within larger objects; and identify types of lines, such as long/short, thick/thin, and straight/curved, then include them in their work. Enrich your child's school-based art program with a more in-depth exploration of art. Employing a wide range of mediums, including drawing and painting, printmaking, ceramics and mixed media, this is an exciting opportunity for children who are looking to take their artistic learning to the next level. This is a 10-week, 2 hour, drop-off class held on Tuesdays.

Bring your young artists to join us in the ceramics studio as we learn various hand-building methods for creating and decorating ceramic masterpieces.

After the students construct a clay piece and paint it with colorful glazes, projects will be fired in electric kilns. Students should bring their imagination and be prepared to get messy as we dive into the world of functional and sculptural ceramics. This is a 10-week, 1.5 hour, after school class.
