Saturdays: Art Sampler [Ages 8-11]

Come explore a variety of art materials and techniques in this fun class. We’ll focus on drawing, painting and printmaking as students enjoy new ways to express themselves and build skills in composition, color theory and markmaking. With both historical and contemporary artworks as inspiration, young artists will try new media and broaden their understanding of art. New and continuing students welcome!
