(Excerpts taken from www.americansforthearts.org)

"Art engages a variety of the brains areas that help children learn emotion, cognition and memory."

(Sean Brotherson, Family Science Specialist, NDSU, July 2009)

Experiences in the first three years of life have a powerful influence on lifelong development and learning.

Help your child develop socially, cognitively, physically and emotionally with art.



Tailored for preschoolers, the class is based on the basic Elements of Art:

• Line
• Shape
• Color
• Form
• Texture

Each lesson is planned to expose the children to an element of art and a new art material. Preschoolers love to explore the art materials, usually it's a whole new experience for them.

In addition to classes targeted at preschoolers, we offer specific classs for children with special needs (i.e. autism). Contact us for more information.
