In this class, students will use a wide variety of mediums, techniques, and styles, while having a chance to spend time with other students with similar interests. This includes drawing and painting mediums such as watercolor, acrylics, gouache, pastels, pen and ink, and charcoal, but also printmaking, collage, and clay to name just a few. The students are given freedom to explore their interests independently, while having guidance available from the instructor. Maybe they’d like to try a new medium, or stay in their comfort zone and just have time to create.

We provide your child a break from electronics and school pressures and give them a safe space to relax, create, explore ideas, meet peers with similar interests, and develop skills, whether they may want to pursue a career in the arts or just need a creative outlet.

At the end of the semester we will have an art show where the students can show off their work! We also give them the opportunity to participate in Fall Fest on Saturday September 27th, when we have our fall music recital, followed by an afternoon of stage performances and a vendor fair. Students are allowed to set up a table to show and even sell their artwork or other craft items, or have their artwork on display at our booth.

Are you looking for a more structured class for your child? For grades 5 and up we also have Art Exploration 103, which is project-led.

Does your child specifically like drawing? For grades 5 and up we also have Drawing 103, which focuses on drawing fundamentals to help improve their drawing skills.
