"Little hands, big ideas!"

Creative Mind Classes Offered

Ashcan January 18, 2021

Welcome back!

Today’s blog post will be a quick explanation of the different classes we have to offer throughout this semester. Each semester, we try to include a variety of projects with different mediums so that our kids can become familiar with materials they might not have worked with before.

Observe and Draw

In the Observe and Draw class, our students will be focusing on observational drawings. Kids will be using different objects found in their material box along with objects in their home. This course teaches skills and techniques of drawing and helps students to also gain patience and concentration.

3D Build with Ideas

3D Build with Ideas is a hands-on class. Students will be working with more tactile materials to create three dimensional figures. This class includes a lot of brainstorming and development of creativity. Kids will be able to work with clay, cardboard, wood, paper, and develop their two dimensional sketches into three dimensional sculptures.

Watercolor Painting with Experiments

Watercolor painting is a very good medium to experiment with. The ratio of paint to water gives such a great variety of depth and design. Kids will be able to create paintings and learn the skills of watercolor paint. They will learn how to control their water to find the depth of color they are looking for. There are also many brush techniques to learn about to portray texture.
