Advanced Art Exploration (9-13)
Class Experience:Art Exploration is a hands-on, process-based class designed for upper elementary-aged artists and homeschool families. This program blends creative play with foundational art concepts, allowing young artists to experiment, explore, and express themselves freely. Each session introduces new materials, techniques, and famous artists, making learning both engaging and fun!
Each class is offered independently, but we encourage full-semester enrollment for the best experience. At the end of the semester, students will celebrate their work with a mini art exhibit for families and the community to enjoy.
