What We Offer
Our kids classes are offered for children ages 5-12 who wish to develop and improve skills in sketching, drawing, and painting. Our artists travel through various techniques in our relaxing and creative studio. They will learn about artists in history and the background of each style they are working on. We appreciate the importance of the creation of visual aesthetics as the building block of child development.
-
Painting is a way for children to do many important things: convey ideas, use their senses, explore color, explore process and outcomes, and create aesthetically pleasing works and experiences.
-
Painting offers children a way to express their feelings through the use of colors, lines, shapes, and textures, and even the act of making a mess. Painting is also a quiet and calming activity to radiate inner peace.
-
Children learn to appreciate the art of their peers and are guided by adults in giving positive feedback to each other. An appreciation in art work causes children to try that same style in their own paintings.
-
Learning to control paintbrushes and other painting tools is a great way to gain eye-hand coordination, with a focus not only on the tool or where it should land on the painting surface, but on the space in between.
-
Painting gives children the opportunity to use most of their senses while working with various textures and colors.
They explore through various materials used in art and also express themselves verbally while telling about their works.
