Beginner Artist. 8+
Visual Art and Craft for kids 8 – 12 years old.
Young children spend the first few years of their life exploring this world. They observe, learn, accumulate information. In a few years before school, they accumulate and process hundreds of times more information than at any other time of their life. They prepare their brains for more in-depth study and we know how to help them do their best.
At our High Tide school students will create also a multi-directional composition with a variety of materials, paint, images, found objects, and ink painting. Techniques will include collage, monotype printing, drawing, painting, mixing, assemblage, cutting, and pasting, etc.
Our Instructors will help your child develop their creativity, confidence, and social skills in our HIGH TIDE ART SCHOOL setting. We encourage creative learners from any skill level to join our classes.
