After School Art Classes
Classes Start Sept. 8!
Did you know creativity plays a crucial role in shaping young minds? Art enhances kid’s abilities to solve problems, express feelings, and learn to trust themselves. Sometimes, art even helps convey what words cannot. Creating art is an inward journey, full of discoveries and self-connection!
Our after school art classes run from Sept to June. We offer 8 week courses on specific subjects, as well as rolling admission in the mixed media classes. In the rolling admission classes, your child can join whenever it fits their schedule - with a mix of exciting new projects every week!
In our art classes, we explore technique development, study of color, and lots of creative exploration in a supportive, gentle environment. We provide structure, but also keep in mind that spontaneous exploration is where creativity thrives! We inspire students to be inquisitive, and experiment with what "think outside the box" means. Our hope is that they learn to trust themselves - to be their own authority. This builds self-esteem & confidence!
