Art Explorations
Grades K-5 

Does your child love to draw paint, cut, glue, and create?  Art Explorations offers the perfect creative outlet for students in grades K-5th!  This class develops visual literacy by introducing past and current art masters and emulating their styles - from abstract art to architectural creations! We also look to the natural world for inspiration and spend time diving into our imaginations and developing our unique artistic voices.  This is a very active, hands-on class for students who love to bring their visions to life!

Rekindling Your Art Practice
for Adults

Do you feel like you never learned how to be creative?  Do you feel like there is an inner artist somewhere inside of you that you can't reach? If so, then Rekindling Your Art Practice is for you!  Most people never had the opportunity to learn concrete skills from a supportive teacher.  In this class, we will model our projects around old and new masters in a variety of styles- from liberating abstract projects to skill-building observational art.  This class is structured to build confidence, teach concrete skills, and provide students with a supportive environment where they can connect to their own creative interests.
