Pre-school Process Oriented Art Classes
Thursday and Friday
10:30 - 11:30am
Price is $10 per child
Walk-ins are welcome, but it's best to call ahead the day before so we can properly supply the class and to reserve your spot as the class is limited to 8 children. Mommies of little artists age 4 and over are encouraged to stay and participate. Mommies of little artists under age 4 are required to stay. Please dress children in art appropriate clothing as we can not guarantee they will not ruin their clothes.

Process oriented art classes are focused on the process as opposed to the final output. No models are used so there is no preconceived notion of what the end product is supposed to look like. Rather, it is providing guidance, tools, and repetition which allow a child the freedom to explore technique and medium. Children are encouraged to use their natural curiosity and imagination for creative self expression.

Process oriented art promotes listening skills, fine motor skills, self confidence, and teaches children how to follow directions... all while having fun!

Color Blending

Bubbles

Printing/Stamping
