Kids 4-5 - Our mission for kids this age is to encourage, enhance and explore their natural creativity through an
art-rich curriculum that includes drawing, painting and collage. At this age, children are still developing their fine motor skills. Through eye-hand coordination exercises, we help improve the way they transfer on paper what they are seeing.
Kids 5-7 - In this age of discovery, when all they do or create is a moment to celebrate, learning drawing and painting techniques is just another celebration. The kids in this age group are like sponges quickly assimilating all new information. We teach drawing by deconstructing familiar subjects into geometric shapes that help children "see." Students learn art concepts that help them to improve and enrich their drawings. Eventually, children learn that everything can be drawn using basic shapes and they can start applying it by themselves. We teach at this young age the proper use of a brush and color mixing using watercolor and tempera paint. The students have the opportunity of exploring other mediums such as collage and oil pastels.
Kids 7-9 - This is a great age for Art Classes. The kids from 7 – 9 are not self-conscious yet about how their art work “should look.” They are very open to ideas and information. Learning how to draw and feeling confident about it will take them safely beyond the age where most of us decided “we do not know how to draw” or about 10 years old. In this class, we have a good balance of drawing from imagination and drawing from observation. Drawing from imagination is very important at this age and teaching them a few art concepts that can be applied to their drawings will open their creativity and imagination. We teach drawing from observation and help students to “see” and notice details that will help them to translate it to paper. We teach about painting in this class including the proper use of brushes, color mixing using watercolors and tempera paint and other mediums such as soft and oil pastels. This class builds confidence and individual creativity in a guided but fun artistic environment.
Kids 9-12 - Learning how to draw is a great asset for children of this age. Drawing allows them a way to express
themselves, a tool to use when they are bored, a way to express their ideas to others and a source of joy, confidence and self-esteem. However, around 10 years old children become very critical of their art work. This is the age when most people stop drawing because they are convinced they cannot do it. Our goal is to foster a healthy confidence in your child’s artist ability.
Teens - Our teen classes offer personalized instruction depending on the level of the student and their interests. Everyone in the class can work on different projects and media.
