Do you like making art about important issues? If so, then this class is for you! Explore environmental awareness, develop technical skills and have fun while becoming an effective artist communicator. Create projects using found and recycled objects and traditional materials, such as clay, paint and collage. At the end of the class we will exhibit our work. Bring an environmental issue of concern to the first class.
................wednesdays / miercoles ................
Explore the wonders of the arctic and the people and animals that live there! Use clay to make polar bears, seals, orcas and penguins. Focus in on the Eskimo and Inuit peoples and their habitat as we create small igloos, sleds, sled dogs, canoes and an environment out of cell-u-clay. All work will be fired in the kiln, glazed and ready to take home at the end of class.

i love art – pre-school
Art is a childs first language. Painting, drawing, pasting, sculpting, puppet-making and a loving, non-judgmental environment help foster creativity and original thinking in young artists. A little story begins each class and a little snack ends it.
................
Painting, drawing and sculpture develop perceptual and motor skills as young artists discover the magic and beauty of color and form. We will emphasize creativity, originality of ideas and the joy that making art can bring.

Please note: For all children's classes, we encourage you to enroll early so that we may have an accurate student count one week prior to the start of classes. We can then create a waiting list for classes that have reached their capacity or give families more notice if a class must be cancelled due to low enrollment. Security rules require that parents come into the Art Center to drop off and pick up children.
