Classes for Children
Our goal is for our young artists to both learn and have a great time doing it! With a small group of children, sparks of creativity can be seized upon and used as jumping-off points for greater exploration and expression. A child's meandering creativity is respected and hopefully enriched by our guidance. Our small classes enable us to teach real skills effectively. We have the time and freedom to stop and discuss a piece of art or a period in art history at the moment when it becomes relevant in a child's work.

Sticks, corn cobs, string, paint brushes and sponges – we will use a wide variety of materials to drip, splatter, flick, dab and spread paint to create an image. Looking at artists such as Jackson Pollock and Pat Steir, we will discover how the process of making art is key to its creation.
