These programs are geared for those who have never stepped into creative spaces, so you don’t have to be an “artist” to participate. We will build some foundational tools for those who want to develop their child’s interest more intentionally later as they grow. We will explore watercolor, acrylic, pens, pencil, and oil pastel projects as your child grows in creativity, motor skill development, and self-discovery

3 Year Old- 1st Grade Specific: Young Ages will focus on the basic fine motor development skills for this age, learn the color wheel, and how to draw shapes. They will complete a project each class with step-by step instructions to follow, and be introduced to all of the art elements, famous artists, art vocabulary, and art mediums such as watercolor, oil pastels, acrylics, pencil, pens, and mixed media.
