Is your child curious about art? This playful, hands-on class introduces young artists to the basic elements of artistic creation and creativity! Students will explore line, shape, color, texture, space, and contrast through exciting projects using a variety of different mediums. Each month, kids dive into something new—first drawing, then painting, and finally sculpting fun 3D creations. This class is perfect for sparking imagination and building artistic confidence in young artists. All supplies are provided for this class. Feel free to send a water bottle with your child, but please don't send food or snacks. This class is taught in English.
