ART
My First Art Class (Ages 2-3 years) CLASS IS FULL 8/29/08
Our youngest artists get the chance to explore paints, modeling compounds, oil pastels, watercolors and other wonderful art materials. They roll, scribble, shake and pound as they learn about color, shape and form while building the hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills that they'll need later in school to write and draw. They will build confidence while exploring creative and innovative materials. Our budding artist will shine! Mom/caregiver stays to help their little artist create their masterpieces.
