Art Explorations are weekly classes for children ages 3-5 and children ages 6-8. The classes run as sessions and include exploration of a wide variety of art materials and methods. This class is designed for young children who are comfortable being dropped-off by a parent.

10 classes beginning week of 1/18 and ending week of 3/29
Students in this class will explore a variety of techniques to get paint on paper. Experiment with rollers, twigs, pine needles, acorns, feathers, marbles, buttons, and many more non-traditional painting techniques. Children will brainstorm as a group to come up with their own ideas for "painting without a brush."

Wednesdays, 3:30-5:30pm
Ages: 6-8
Instructor: Maral Pugh
Cost: $120
10 classes beginning week of 1/18 and ending week of 3/29
Students in this class will explore the element of line in art making. Experiment with string sculptures, look for lines in nature, trace shadows, and discover how lines form planes by playing cat's cradle. Children will use paint, chalk, paper, pencil and repurposed "junk" as they dig deeper and look further at the lines that surround us.
Flora and Fauna
Thursdays, 10am-12noon
Ages: 3-5
Instructor: Benares Angeley
Cost: $120
10 classes beginning week of 1/18 and ending week of 3/29
Children in this class will use nature as inspiration to experiment with many art techniques. Repurpose "junk" to make forest sculptures, use flowers and branches for painting, find natural objects for printmaking and rubbings, and experiment with natural dyes made from plants. If the weather cooperates, we will also use ice and snow in our art making!
Open Studio hours are designed for children and adult caregivers to explore art concepts in the Art Lab space. There is no need to sign up for Open Studio ahead of time--just drop in and make art! Children can paint, work with 3-D materials, and experiment with a variety of techniques that change daily. Open Studio is not a guided class, but an instructor is present to provide support, clean-up materials, and set up thought provoking explorations for children and caregivers.
Note: Open Studio hours begin Saturday, January 17.
Cost is $10/child.
