Art is telling a visual story. In this class we will explore the idea that art is a form of self expression and a way to tell the world about who you are. Making more involved projects, artists at this level will be challenged to express themselves through their artwork. Buildi ng upon concepts and techniques that they have learned in the past years, projects will incorporate ceramics, sculpture, drawing, and painting in more depth. Since this is a very social age, lots of fun will be happening weekly at the Workshop!

Hear stories, sing songs, and play with paint, clay, and paper as you and your little artist explore the world of art together. Learn about color, line and shape and experience various ways to create art with your child. Begin to encourage artistic learning by participating with him/her in a unique way. Little artists will gain confidence and skill in hand/ eye coordination and small motor skills with the bonus of cool projects to take home.
