We moved all of our programs to an online format to meet the needs of our students during the pandemic. It turns out the virtual format lends itself beautifully to teaching skills based art. Every week our after school online classes are in session. During vacations we host online art camp . Celebrate your special events with us anytime with our online birthday parties
What To Expect
One-on-one Attention
Your child will receive one-on-one attention and tailored instruction from our teachers who have decades of experience. Our goal is to teach art-making techniques in a relaxing and upbeat environment! Children are divided by age into small groups in order to be able to connect and engage with each other. We work hard and have a blast . Come celebrate the joy of art together with us.
An Inclusive Environment
Everyone is welcome at the Children's Art Studio. If your child has a passion for art, you are in the right place. In class, we meet children where they are at and encourage all effort. Furthermore, the Children’s Art Studio is committed to bringing the pleasure of art to all children, throughout our city. Please read more about our programs here: About Us. You can make a donation here: Help Us Enrich A Child’s Life Through Art.
Portfolio
At the end of class, each child will have created a memorable portfolio of art pieces, with frame-worthy work to share with friends and family! We include a wide range of the most beautiful children’s books in our teaching for inspiration, and it shows. The art work gets more sophisticated and the students enjoy the stories and images. Get ready to turn your home into a gallery and fill your walls with art.
Tactile Experiences
Getting kids to engage in tactile experiences has never been more important, and difficult, then now! We introduce raw materials and hands-on techniques so students gain skills, focus, awareness and self-esteem. Sensory-rich experiences develop coordination, creativity, confidence and self-expression. Our calm, upbeat, structured classes are the perfect antidote to stress.
