Paper, collage, paint, string, glue…this class helps students develop an appreciation for using materials that appear flat but can be transformed into 2D creations. By exploring new approaches to using flat materials, 2-D design is a stepping stone to understanding how to build 3-D sculpture and assemblage.
This parent-child art class fosters confidence and self-esteem through drawing, painting, and sculpture. The class builds fine motor skills and introduces children to art language and diverse perspectives.
