Where Creative Kids Belong

Each session features a mix of multi-week projects and one-week take-home artworks, giving children time to explore, experiment, and create with confidence. They’ll explore a wide range of materials such as watercolor, pastels, acrylics, clay, collage, fiber arts, and more. Along the way, they’ll learn how to plan, layer, and build their artwork while experimenting with new tools and techniques.

​

Every project begins with a story, inspiring artist, art style, new concept, or fun topic to spark curiosity. Using prompts from the Artful Thinking approach, we guide kids to slow down, look closely, and share what they see, think, and wonder.  These thoughtful conversations encourage self-expression and help children develop their own artistic voice all while having tons of fun! Along the way, they’ll learn how to plan, layer, and build their artwork while experimenting with new tools and techniques.

​​

We  honor each child's creativity and independence. We never alter or “fix” a child’s artwork, and only step in to help if they request it, so their ideas and decisions remain at the heart of their finished piece.

Benefit of Multiweek Mixed-Media Projects
Spending several weeks on a single artwork teaches students important artistic habits and life skills:

​

• Patience and perseverance — they learn that great work takes time

• Focus and attention to detail — adding layers thoughtfully builds stronger results

• Planning and sequencing — understanding how to build an artwork step by step

• Creative problem-solving — experimenting with materials and making revisions

• Pride and confidence — students are amazed at what they can accomplish when they stick with something

​

These extended projects encourage deeper learning and give kids the space to reflect, refine, and truly express themselves.
