The ART
SHOP!
art classes for children
ages two thru five.
The Art Shop
Artist will join teacher Jeannie Arteiter in art processes with a diverse selection of tools and materials. Many different ways to paint, sculpt, collage, print, and draw will be introduced. Children will develop an art vocabulary, practice decision-making skills, and develop self-esteem through the creation of process-oriented art-themed projects. Children will enjoy the “mess is best” atmosphere in the class, and will use tools and materials found in the environment to create and experiment with.
Our Art Shop projects always involve safe, washable materials
appropriate for early childhood as well as simple materials
found in your home. Children will collaborate on group
murals as well as individual projects. Classes are designed
for children to develop a sense of curiosity and wonder, and
to enhance their appreciation for art. Art Shop projects
inspire creativity and critical thinking skills. |

ART Masters Class This class is designed for ages 4, 5 and 6. Please note that ART Masters is a Drop-off Class! Each week we study a different famous artist. Children will receive a brief history of the style and life of the artist. Now that the children have a true connection to the artist, it is time to introduce the techniques which made the art revolutionary. After learning the inspiration and techniques of each Master, the children are ready for the real fun. Young artists will create their own Masterpieces in the style of the artist that we are studying that week!
