Explore the basics of art together in this unique class. Children work with paint, collage and clay while parents/ guardians create artwork at separate tables. Gallery visits will introduce art through conversation, looking games and stories. We ask that the adult attending remain consistent each week.

Children expand upon their experiences in painting, collage and 3-D processes as they work with a wider range of materials. Seeing and talking about art in the collection builds perception skills and increases art vocabulary. Students should feel comfortable without a parent or guardian.
