Bright Beginnings
For kids 3–5, art is where learning meets play! Scribbles and splashes aren’t just fun; they help little learners grow strong hands, smart brains, and big imaginations. Art gives young ones a way to express emotions, practice making decisions, boost confidence, develop fine motor skills, and early literacy skills, all while having a blast with color, shapes, and creativity.

Tempera Painting: Jump into a hands-on visual art adventure! Pick a theme for your group and let their creativity flow with paint and color. They will try free painting, experiment with stencils, and play with techniques that spark their imagination. By the end of class, they’ll take home their very own masterpiece!
Paper Collage: Unleash your creativity in this magical collage class! Pick a theme and mix and match colorful paper patterns and shapes to build a playful scene. Depending on class time, your group can also enjoy a storybook reading that brings their theme to life. Paper pieces may be ready to go or cut by you, which are perfectly suited to the class’s pace and skill level. By the end, they will have a one-of-a-kind collage to take home!
Crayon Resist
Select a theme and create scenes using crayon techniques with watercolor on paper. Because the wax in crayons resists water, designs drawn in crayon will show up through the paint. Depending on the time allotted for the class, this program may also include a storybook reading related to the selected theme.
