Kids can create amazing works of art!
Students learn basic, solid skills, artist's 'tips' and receive encouragement all along the way.
Classes are structured, yet geared toward the age and skill level in each class.

JUNE 12-16
(Monday - Friday)
9-10:30am
Grades 1-5
DRAWING
This week we are going to practice discovering the lines and shapes, and the lights and darks that are part of everything we see. We will also explore a variety of drawing media like pencil, pen & ink, colored pencil or pastels.
"Drawing is simply a line going for a walk." - Paul Klee
$90.
11-12:30pm
Grades 1-5
PAINTING ADVENTURES
What would happen if we looked at a small object and painted it BIG? How much would change if we looked at a black and white photograph and added our very own colors? What feelings would our paintings express if they were inspired by a piece of music?
Join this adventure of exploring value, color and expression through watercolor and tempera paints.
$90.
1-2:30pm
Grades 6-8
PAINTING ADVENTURES
See the description above.* Feel free to bring in a small object or a black and white photo you would like to use as inspiration. This older group will use watercolor and acrylic paints.
$95.
*If your middle school student would like to focus on their drawing skills, we can certainly do that! The course description would be the same, but we would use drawing materials like pencil, pen & ink, colored pencil or pastels (instead of paint).
3-4:30pm
Grades 4-8
SCULPTING
Let's create 3-dimensional works of art! Using a clay-like mixture of ground up paper and glue (an improved version of papier-mache), we will sculpt whimsical suns inspired by those found in Mexico and an animal of your choice. After they harden, we will mix different values and colors and paint our sculptures with tempera paint.
$90.
