Kindergarten / 1st Grade Classes
In our Kindergarten and 1st grade art classes we are focused on developing a LOVE of art and we do this by letting them fall in love with the CREATION PROCESS.
We look at classic, modern, and contemporary art, and encourage our young artists to come up with their own ideas as well as appreciate the ideas of others. We work with a wide range of art media so, "I can't draw" is never heard in our art room. Everyone can make art.
