Art Explorers: Preschool Art Class (Ages 2-5)
Welcome to Art Explorers, a fun and engaging art class designed for young children and their parents to explore the world of creativity together! In this hands-on class, little artists (and their grown-ups) will dive into a variety of exciting art activities, from painting and drawing to exploring new mediums like clay, collage, and texture art. Each session offers a relaxed, supportive environment where children can experiment with colors, shapes, and materials while developing their fine motor skills and artistic expression.
What to Expect:
- Interactive Exploration: Each class features a different theme or concept, giving children the opportunity to try out different art materials such as watercolor paints, crayons, markers, colored pencils, clay, and more!
- Creative Play: Through open-ended art projects, children will be encouraged to use their imaginations and develop their unique artistic ideas, making each project personal and fun.
- Parent Participation: Parents and caregivers are an essential part of the process! You’ll join in on the creative journey, guiding your child, helping them with tasks, and celebrating their accomplishments.
- Storytime Inspiration: Classes often incorporate a book related to the day’s art theme. Stories might be about colors, animals, or nature, providing inspiration for creative projects and allowing children to connect stories to their artwork.
