Discover
Art exploration is an excellent way for children to build self-confidence through discovering and manipulating materials. By focusing on the process and the exploration of materials whether it be paint, toilet paper tubes, clay or fabric, we help kids use their imagination and articulate their ideas. In addition to the discovery of the physical possibilities of materials, we will also explore a wide variety of subjects, from animals and where they live to underwater sea life to great architecture depending on the age of the students.
Respect & Learn
I pride myself in the respect of materials. We use a lot of recycled and repurposed materials along with the traditional art ones. We have recycling bins and only use cloth towels. We believe that children can learn to be respectful to the environment by just living it.
Develop Independence
By providing age appropriate art exploration children will learn and maturate developmentally appropriate skills, whether it be eye-hand coordination or problem solving skills or perspective all the while encouraging their creative thinking.
We believe that artmaking is an essential component of the human experience. Our goal is to nurture and inspire as well as develop independent thinking.
Summer Camp
Our camps are intimate with a ratio of 3 teachers to 15 kids. After beginning the day playing games and drawing to warm up, we then all dive into art making Each week besides our themed artwork we make books, spend some quiet time reading, spend time exploring our neighborhood through scavenger hunts and searching for and gathering our art materials.
We offer 10 weeks of summer camp beginning June 26th. We will begin registration for summer beginning in March. For all weekly camps we aks that you register for the entire week. No single days.
