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.

In this class we will look at the different ways in which food has been depicted in art. From the inventive portraits made of fruit and veggies from 17th century Italy to the sculptures of 20th century artist Claus Oldenburg. Food in art will inspire us to make our own eye-catching concoctions in a variety of media.
