Description

Class Experience:
Unleash your creativity in this inspiring art class designed specifically for older elementary artists, ages 9-12.
Advanced Art Exploration combines the excitement of process-based art with structured lessons that build essential art skills, encourage self-expression, and foster a deeper understanding of artistic techniques and concepts.
Each class is a stand-alone experience, but together they create a cohesive 10-week semester designed to help artists grow and flourish. We highly encourage enrolling for the full semester to maximize skill development. At the end of the semester, families and the community will be invited to celebrate student achievements during an open studio exhibit- the Art Show.

Class Highlights:

  • Process Art Exploration: Focus on the creative journey, experimenting with a variety of techniques and materials. Students will learn to embrace mistakes, explore their imagination, and develop a personal artistic voice.
  • Skill Building: Explore fundamental art concepts, such as color theory, composition, and art history, through engaging projects tailored to challenge and excite this age group.
  • Thematic Inspiration: Each session features imaginative themes and creative prompts to captivate young minds and inspire meaningful artwork.

Benefits for Young Artists:

  • Skill Development: Build confidence in artistic abilities and a strong foundation in art concepts.
  • Creative Freedom: Experiment with open-ended projects that encourage self-expression.
  • Celebration of Growth: Share their artistic journey with family and friends at a semester-end art exhibit.
