 children's classes 

Our children's classes are an opportunity for young artists to experiment with a variety of materials and techniques in a structured, cheerful environment.  Exploration of line, color, texture, and form, build skills and enhance creative expression.  Examples of art from history and many cultures will inform and inspire children to take their art in new directions.

 

Most of our classes are offered in four-week sessions.  Once your child is registered in the class, you will get priority registration for the next session if you would like to continue.
