Art is so much more than using materials to make a picture. The benefits of art extend to mindfulness, freedom, self-expression, mental wellness, and more. In our art classes, we will learn about different artists throughout history + express our own creativity in the artistic process.
Lower levels will explore materials, textures, colors, and tactile experiences + meet new artists as they become artists themselves.
Our older students will build on these basics to take a deeper dive into art movements + fundamentals.
