Classes

Do​ your kiddo​s love to paint? Great! Let's get these ​creative kids started​ with cute animals and beautiful flowers! Students participating in this series will be learning skill-improving techniques in acrylics and watercolor painting. 
Did you know that integrating art to a child's curriculum raises scores in core subjects! It increases cognitive development​ and boosts long-term memory through visual and tactile engagement​.​ ​Our young artist's will be engaged in three creative projects aimed with individual interests in mind as we embark on understanding color, composition and value, including tint and shade awareness.​ Join us for our Gallery Show ​that will be presented to families ​at 5:10pm on the final day. Taught by artist/educator Pamela Palmer B.F.A. Founder of The Artist's Apprentice. Please wear clothes that are not precious​, we will get messy​! A short break will be enjoyed in the playscape, ​so please wear or bring socks.
Ages 7 & 14 (As always, siblings of any age are welcome)  5:30 to 7:00 ​Fridays   9/11, 9/18, 9/25, 10/2   $98  ($73  65/35 split plus $25 admin fee no split.​) As always, siblings of any age may register.

So sweet, so cute! We just want to eat them up, but lets create them instead! These lovable squishmellow characters will be the focus of this multi-media series, where kids will explore many avenues of the art world. From printmaking on rice paper, painting in brilliant shimmer colors, and sculpting with model magic clay, your kiddo will be engaged in a whirl wind of imaginative projects and 3D visual references. One-to-one guidance will ensure that even the most timid artist will shine with confidence as they present their artwork in a Gallery Show, extended to parents on the last day of class. Note: These classes are an hour and a half long. Please arrive 15 minutes earlier on the final day for a prideful exhibition of our 'viewing of creations'!
