Winter 2009 Session 2

Winter 2009 Session 2

February 24 through April 4

AGES 2 TO 3 1/2

Mini Masters of Art
Our fun and exciting art classes for toddlers engage children in art explorations that include drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, and collage. The purpose is to build a basic knowledge of art materials and how they work, while developing problem solving skills and providing an opportunity for creative expression. The studio space is organized in centers, allowing the children to work at their own pace with their parents or caregivers. In addition to the art projects, children will interact with one another as they play with art related developmental toys. Classes will wind down with a story that correlates with the art concept for the day. One adult must stay and participate with the child.
