In the 8 week class students will explore a variety of different cultures by looking at different art  from around the world.  They will travel to places such as Japan, Europe, Australia and others.  Students will explore different  art methods to create their own artwork inspired by artists from history.  This is a fun class where students will learn to create with a variety of materials:   pencil, oil pastel, watercolor, acrylic and more.  Students will be inspired by artists from these countries.  This is a fun hands-on class where kids will explore creatively in many ways. 

For kiddos to explore freely, we have a policy that parents aren’t in the classroom. We’ve also found that without guardians in the classroom, students have space to create more organic relationships and connections with others in the class. Parents or guardians may bring their student to the space and help them feel comfortable up to 10 minutes prior to the class start time, then guardians may sit outside of the classroom in our café or common area space. This way they are reachable if something comes up and the student is assured you are close by.
