In this class, we’ll focus on the core fundamentals of art: form, perspective, value, color, composition, and anatomy. We’ll explore these concepts through creative, age-appropriate projects and lessons designed to make learning art both engaging and fun.

As important as these technical fundamentals are, I have some bigger goals for your children as well. Throughout the semester, I hope they develop patience, focus, and confidence through the process of creating art.

I believe art has the ability to change us from the inside out. That can happen through viewing art, but especially through the experience of creating it. The practice of making art teaches children to slow down, try again, work through challenges, and trust themselves. These are skills that can be difficult to come by in 5-, 6-, and 7-year-olds, but art gives them a wonderful and natural way to practice.

My hope is that your children leave this class not only with new artistic skills, but also with a little more confidence in themselves and a greater willingness to explore, experiment, and create.
