bringing art into children's lives
The Village Artist welcomes children 3+ to their art center. Small classes with individualized attention create a perfect environment for young artists to be inspired and learn.
exploring art together
Young artists (ages 2 - 3 1/2 yrs) have the opportunity to explore the world of art with a parent (caretaker) by their side. Process vs. product type projects will be Introduced to the young artist, so they enjoy their creative time. Painting, drawing, printmaking, collage, crafts, and sculpture are the visual arts introduced in this course. The goal of these classes is to familiarize our young artist with different materials to enjoy and explore their creativity while bonding with their parent.
