Adventures in Art: a 90-minute children’s painting class
Learn color mixing, perspective & more. Fun & encouraging environment For ages 6 - 10 Saturdays 10:30am - 12pm Perfect holiday activity
Not sure what to get the grandparents for the holidays this year? What about an original piece of art from an up-and-coming artist known as...your child. We offers a unique 90-minute guided painting class for children that will teach them about color mixing, perspective, painting techniques and most importantly, encourage them to unleash their creativity on the blank canvas. Classes are all taught by instructors with art degrees and every child leaves with their own 11 x 14 painting. With canvas ready and brush in hand (all supplies are provided), who knows what kind of masterpiece your little one will produce. Something frame-worthy, that’s for sure.
