Art + Writing

Acting Up With Art

In this creative class, younger students will enjoy making an original piece of art using all kinds of materials, and then taking that piece and using it in an short scene. Students will be treated to a basic art class as well as basic acting! 

Primary Colors

This class is an introduction to color, and painting. Each week we will be focusing on a different color and at the end of the class you will have one painting for each color of the rainbow and a basic understanding of color theory. You will also grow your art vocabulary, with terms like ‘Complementary colors’ ‘Primary and Secondary colors’ and you will leave knowing the difference between a flat paint brush, and a round paint brush. Bring a smock and be prepared to get a little bit messy!

Beginner Hand Sewing

We will focus on running/ gathering stitch, back stitching, blanket stitching as well as sewing on buttons.  Each week the children will be building on their skill while making fun and simple crafts with their new talents.  The final project will work with cutting and tracing out a pattern to build a Monster.  We would love for you to join us in this Monstrous good time!
