Be Smart. Add ART!

$50 Discounted for residents, $60 Regular Fee for non-residents

$15 supply fee paid to instructor on the 1st day of class.

Ages: 7+

Your choice! In this course the student and parent give input as to what the child would like to learn. The idea of the class is to add art into a child’s curriculum in order to balance and improve other areas of study. Children who engage in arts can develop important skills such as problem-solving, self-expression, and fine motor skills. As children learn to master new art techniques, they also boost their confidence and self-esteem. Many avenues may be explored in these classes, including clay, drawing, painting and manga (Japanese cartooning). No prior experience necessary. A Gallery Show will be extended to families following class on the final day.
