Art - Great Artists in History Age 2 - 7

  

Our 2-4 year old class teaches preschoolers basic school and life readiness skills through the means of art. Through making art and reading about famous artists, children build creativity, strengthen fine motor skills, socialize with other children, express their feelings through art, learn shapes and colors, and lengthen their attention span, all while having messy fun with tempera paints, pastels, chalk, watercolors, glue, and more.

In our 5-7 year old class, children continue to build on to previous skills while learning more about specific artists and styles of art.

Children learn a variety of true techniques for creating art and use more materials as they develop their artist capabilities. In this class, our instructor guides and promotes the development of children's creativity as they discover different styles of art and how to create it such as carving a sculpture out of plaster of paris, drawing a self-portrait, painting outdoors to create a landscape, or even making paint from egg yolks and chalk just like Giotto did in the Renaissance era of art.
