Mini-Picasso (Ages 3 - 4): Your
child is never too young to develop their creativity! Children learn our
step-by-step Explore Art method, which teaches them how to transform simple
shapes into great art. They also are given other more free-form exploratory
lessons, where their imagination is the limit! Emphasis is placed on refining
the student’s motor skills, encouraging their independence, and improving their
ability to take instruction, make marks and apply color.
Beginning Art (ages 4.5 - 6): In
this class, children create works of art using our step-by-step
Explore
Art Method. Basic elements of shape are introduced with warm-up exercises in
this structured course developed to not only be fun but to encourage fine motor
skills and self esteem. Students learn
to draw and apply color, overlap images, and create detailed pictures with
confidence. Children should be able to write their own name and be comfortable
taking direction for an hour.
Art Explorers
(ages 7 - 9): Young artists are taught to create a work of arts
using multiple approaches in this introductory class.
We draw fun things that interest both children and their parents - from animals
of all sizes and favorite storybook characters to trucks at work and beautiful
landscapes. Children are shown how to render outlines, combine shapes, and
introduced to simple art concepts, terminology, and history – all in a fun and
exciting way! Our students produce wonderful representational and abstract
pictures that are typically considerably beyond developmental level.
Art & Clay Combo (ages 4.5 - 6): This
class is the best of both worlds as students alternate between art lessons one
week and clay sculpting the next. This combination makes each class fun and new
while they hone their hand eye motor coordination and focus. Art lessons
include our famous step-by-step methodology and our clay instruction focuses on
the basics of hand building and glazing.
Teens
and Adults Clay Wheel Throwing (ages 10 to Adult): Students
will learn how to throw on the wheel, progressing from basic cylinder to more
subtle and interesting shapes. Students may pursue personal projects like
creating sculptural forms and decorative vessels, like teapots, birdhouses,
plates, and more. While pots dry, students explore hand built projects with
coils, slab, and sculptural methods. Slips, glazes, decorative painting and
other embellishments will be taught.
Fashion Fun Club (ages 7 - 12): Come
have fun with friends in a club made just for crafty girls with an eye for
fashion. We learn how to sew by hand and with a machine to make outfits for
dolls or accessories for ourselves. Girls will create their own designs and
make amazing crafts such as photo frames, dream catchers, jewelry, altered books,
sachets, quilts, and more. Join us as we share, laugh, and have a ton of fun!
The Science & Technology Club (ages 7 -
12): Be cool and explore with us! Each month we embark on a new theme: the
worlds of robotics and video game programming, drawing Star Wars art lessons,
creating Harry Potter crafts and more. Learn new things, meet new friends, and
have fun – what could be cooler?
Art & Clay Sampler (all ages): Not
sure where to start with art? We’ve got the perfect class for you! Bring all
your children to experiment in multiple mediums – including basic drawing, an
introduction to painting, clay hand building, and more. This is a great way for
siblings and friends to have fun with each other, while learning new skills and
gaining confidence from making something amazing each weekend! No prior
experience is necessary.
