Toddler Art Classes
Our toddler art classes are designed to give little ones (ages 4 and under) the opportunity to express themselves creatively while practicing their fine motor and socializing skills. Join us every Friday at 10am and 10:30am for sensory activities such as finger painting, playing and making instruments, bubble painting and more! Attendance is limited to 10 people per session, on a first-come, first-serve basis. There is a $5 fee per child for materials. Toddler art classes begin 10-22.
After School Art Instruction
These beginner courses for children in grades K-2 and 3-5 are designed to develop and expand students observational abilities and rendering skills. Students will learn methods for describing objects in terms of line, shape, volume, perspective and compositional space. The objective is to build the fundamentals of line drawings to fully modeled still-life drawings. Classes take place once per week for four weeks. Maximum of 10 kids per class.
