Paint Like the Masters!

A hands-on art adventure for kids who love to create

Does your child say “I love to paint!”? This popular cultural arts class invites young artists to explore color, creativity, and confidence through the work of famous painters—in a fun, kid-friendly way.

This session, students will be inspired by:

• Raoul Dufy and his joyful seaside & sailboat scenes

• Winslow Homer’s kids on the beach

• Vincent van Gogh’s vibrant sunflowers

• Wassily Kandinsky’s playful circles and expressive color

Children will experiment with watercolors, acrylics, and poster paint while learning simple techniques that help them feel successful—no experience needed! Step-by-step guidance is available, while still encouraging imagination and personal style.

✨ Families are invited to a special Gallery Show on the final day to celebrate each child’s artwork.

Taught by Pamela Palmer, B.F.A., Artist & Educator, with a warm, encouraging teaching style that helps every child shine.

🎨 Please wear clothes that are not precious—we will get messy and creative!
💵 $95 — All materials included. (Note: Many Oakland County art studios charge $120–$200+ for multi-week youth classes, with materials added separately. This class includes six full hours of instruction plus all art supplies for $95, giving families a high-quality art experience at an accessible price.

With a MOO, MOO here, and a happy child there! 
Get ready for a week of art exploration and farm animal fun! These multi-media classes including sculpture, painting, and drawing are set to providing an opportunity to learn key elements that will enhance your young artist's creative awareness of fine arts! 
Children will be made aware of animal proportion as well as how to incorporate some unique colorful background elements into their work, like that of contemporary artist Woody Jackson. We will also try to emulate the delightful, whimsical animal paintings of Alison Friend!  
A 'Viewing of Creations' will be extended to families after class on the final day. Please bring a snack, water bottle and wear clothes that are not precious!
