Weekly After-School Art Class

This engaging after-school membership class offers young artists a chance to dive deep into creative exploration while building real technical skills. With small class sizes and a warm, supportive environment, students receive plenty of individual attention as they grow into confident, independent makers.

✨ What to Expect Each Week

🎨 Guided Independent Art (20 minutes)

Students begin each session with time to explore their own creative ideas using a variety of materials — including painting, drawing, sewing, papercraft, and sculpture. This time encourages artistic independence and peer collaboration in a relaxed, inspiring setting.

📚 Core Art Lesson + Project (1 hour)

Each class features a focused lesson on art history, technique, or a new medium, followed by a hands-on project that puts the lesson into practice. The curriculum is designed to balance skill-building with creative freedom.

🧼 Clean-Up + Art Game (10 minutes)

We wrap up each session with a quick clean-up and a fun, art-themed game to end on a high note.
