Youth Art Classes

NEW! Paint What You Love!

Instructor: Carrie Ade
Thursdays 3:45-4:45PM
or Tuesdays 3:30-4:30PM
Tuition: $65-$85
Location: 94 Court St Middlebury

In this multi week after school class, children will have the freedom to explore, experiment, and test the limits while they paint what they love! Students will go more in depth each week as they develop skills, and most importantly begin to discover the artistic magic that can unfold when they start to hone in on what is important to them and the stories they can tell with their work.
In addition to learning the fundamental elements of creating a finished artwork and developing fluency and comfort with the painters mediums and tools, the class will focus on encouraging creativity and painting subjects that each student feels connected to. Each week students will be guided through their projects as they build confidence with their approach and experience the challenges and joy of self expression through a visual medium! 

All levels/Ages 7-11 All materials included
