A Child's Introduction to Materials

Creative Exploration is a process based class that introduces children to a variety of different materials. Each week there is a common theme explored through a series of art stations. Each station is a different example of how that weeks material can be used. Children are free to move around and explore each station as they please. Parents are encouraged to participate with their children.

Creative Exploration was created to encourage children to explore and use their imaginations. The concept of the class was created with the hope that it would instill a strong foundation, at a young age, giving the child the ability to think outside the box with confidence.

Halloween Fun

Happy Halloween!!! Today was a great time! I loved watching everyone painting each others faces and seeing the kids paint their own faces. Painting with noodles was awesome! The paintings were amazing! They reminded me of the toy car paintings that we made a few weeks ago. I hope that everyone has a great halloween and we will see you next week!
