After School Art Classes
Our after school art classes run from Sept to June. We offer rolling admission, so your child can join whenever it fits their schedule - with exciting new projects every week!
Did you know creativity plays a crucial role in shaping young minds? By enhancing their ability to solve problems, express feelings, and learn to trust themselves. Sometimes, art helps convey what words cannot. Creating art is an inward journey, full of discoveries and self-connection!
In our art classes, we explore technique development, study of color, and lots of creative exploration in a supportive, kind environment. Every week, kids try different mediums, so they can discover what they enjoy most! We may use markers, watercolors, or pastels. Or, we might paint on canvas and sculpt with terra cotta clay. Another week, we may recycle unexpected materials with curiosity, not knowing where the journey will take us! We provide structure, but also know that spontaneous exploration is where creativity thrives! We inspire students to be inquisitive, and experiment with what "think outside the box" means. Our hope is that they learn to trust themselves - to be their own authority. This builds self-esteem & confidence!
