Creative Kiddos! (Ages around 4-6)
This energetic art class is specifically designed for younger artists. Each week the class will feature multiple hands-on activities that allow kiddos the opportunity to draw, paint, stamp, and design with a number of unique art materials. Each week your eager young artist is guaranteed to have a lot of fun and will leave with a new completed project, and more than likely colorful, dirty hands! The class is primarily intended for children ages 4-6, however, children slightly older or younger would also enjoy the art projects. Parents are always welcome to stay for the entire art class, but should also not feel obligated to stay. The class fee is $20 a week and covers professional instruction, use of studio space, and the cost of all art supplies. Payment for the entire month is preferred on or before the first class each month. However, I am also fine with parents paying on a week to week basis, especially when their students are just starting out. Every Tuesday | 2:00-3:00pm $20/week Sign up Now!
