The Little Artist ( PreK-K )

  The Little Artist Program introduces our youngest students to art materials, topics, and especially each other. Our teachers are passionate and patient people that truly want their students to be creative with subjects and materials. Each project will have a specific prompt and material that the students will learn and use to complete their artwork. The materials introduced in this class range from crayon, oil pastel, color pencil, to watercolor.

  We introduce a broad range of subject matter, starting with basic shapes and form, color understanding, to things like design, and architecture. Students will typically learn about one subject and create two projects a month. We want our students to open their minds to new topics that they may not have seen or heard of!

  We support our students in building their participation skills, motor skills, and communication skills. We want these young ones to get comfortable in a classroom setting as well as work on their behavior and self expression.
