The best thing art education can offer a child is the experience of creating for its own sake. The product is never so important as the child's experience of creating it and the pleasure gained in the doing.
Children need to paint and create for their own enjoyment,
not to imitate or please others. This is how they learn to trust their own
ideas and find an inventiveness that gives them a fulfillment not dependent
on the approval of others.
Painting Class
Children work in a studio setting once a week with handmade brushes, fine quality tempera paints and large sheets of paper.
Clay Class
Using fine quality white clay, children explore and create a wide range of forms. Some pieces will be glazed and fired in a kiln.
Doing creative work together provides a unique opportunity for the child and adult partner to experience the non-verbal language of color, shape, line and texture. When parents engage in creative work, they demonstrate that art is in activity worthy of their child's attention.
