Session 1: Once Upon a Line: Colors of Connection

Meets January 21st-Februrary 25th

This art class invites children to explore how color and line can work together to create brand-new artwork full of energy and imagination. Young artists will discover how their art can guide the eye, create movement, and shape ideas. They will also dive into the exciting world of color—mixing, layering, and combining hues of acrylic paint to express emotions and tell stories. Some of the highlighted artists of inspiration include Helen Frankenthaler, Yayoi Kusama, Alex Nunez, and Greg Ito.

 

Session 2: Build-a-World: Mixed Media Adventures

Meets March 4th – April 15th (no class March 18th)

In this art class, children will explore how texture, composition, and mixed media can bring their imaginative worlds to life. By experimenting with materials such as paint, collage, fabric, and found objects, they will discover how different surfaces and layers create depth and feeling. In their final art project, they’ll learn how to arrange elements in a creative way that tells a story in an imaginative world filled with texture and design. Some of the highlighted artists of inspiration include Derrick Adams, Ashante Kindle, and Alex Nunez.

 

Session 3: Sculpt, Shape, and Shine 

Meets April 22nd – May 27th

In this hands-on class, kids will dive into the world of 3D art through the use of air-dry clay, plaster, Mod Podge, and mixed media. In their final project young artists will design and build a figure of their choice—whether it’s a superhero, robot, fairy, or creature from their own imagination. Along the way, they’ll learn how to shape, layer, and add details to their sculptures while exploring the magic of storytelling through art. Some of the highlighted artists of inspiration include Taylor Robenalt and Maria Bartuszova.
