Overview:
A very fun time using markers, paint, pencils and plenty of creativity. Artistic concepts and techniques are introduced to the children in entertaining ways. Sometimes we incorporate cartooning into the class, and we have group projects and games to break things up. All the tables are kid height, too. The primary element of teaching art to this age is encouragment with simple directions and lots of materials.
- Students participate in the Art Show in June.
- 10-student limit in classroom with professional instructor.
- Supplies are included in the tuition fee!
- Parents may observe the class.
- At the end of the year, there is a final 3-D painting project.
In-depth:
This is a beginning class that has 2 years of lessons. Classes are aimed toward preparing the student for the concepts that they'll learn as they progress through the later years of art classes. For instance, although we use washable tempera paints instead of permanent artist acrylics, we use the same basic 10 color palette that is used in all the upper classes. Entertaining lessons, such as making half a face, and then holding it up to a mirror, leads to learning about symetrical balance and facial drawing skills. Even the games support artistic concepts. We don't call any of our work a "mistake", but instead refer to work as either "learners" or "keepers". (yay!)
In our new ARTPark class, the kids get to move in small groups from center to center, exploring different projects and materials. We use playdough, paint, markers, a giant chalkboard, markerboards, and more.
Tuition: $900 for a 35-session curriculum.
or 9 monthly payments of $100 (there is also a once-a-year $25 registration fee)
