Process/Purpose

Explore! Experiment! Experience! This introduction to materials and methods provides hands-on experiences in the visual arts. Creative thinking is born of experimentation, beginning with ideas using

tactile materials.

This entry-level art class is aimed towards elementary students. In this class, we will explore different media, both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional. Students will discover how to see as an artist does,

learning to think creatively. Students will become familiar with a wide range of drawing, painting, and textile media. Using clay and other 3-dimensional building materials, we will learn some basic hand-

building and sculpture skills. In the Exploring Art Mediums for Kids class, students will be introduced to famous master artists and will explore creative concepts with hands-on projects that will also build

their fine motor skills as well as their hand-eye coordination.
