10 AND UP CLASS — Class Time Sat. 2-4 pm
The importance of art education applies to older artists as well as younger.
The students in the 6-9 and 10-and up classes experience the same
curriculum, however each classes is presented according to the
development and skill of each individual in that respective class. Obviously,
the student in the older class is ready for more advanced techniques.
However, if the younger child seems to be ready for a more advanced
technique we will be happy to provide them with that level of instruction.
Each child is given the individual attention and instruction they need. In
addition to class time, we also encourage the students to participate in
various area art exhibits and studio field trips.
