In this engaging class, children will begin each session by listening to a book. Inspired by the story, characters, themes, and illustrations, young artists will explore a variety of process-based art experiences that encourage creativity, experimentation, and self-expression.
Rather than focusing on a finished product, children will enjoy the journey of creating through painting, printing, collage, sculpture, sensory materials, and mixed-media exploration. Each project is designed to nurture imagination, build confidence, strengthen fine motor skills, and foster a love of both literacy and art.
Join us as we bring stories to life through hands-on artistic discovery, where every child’s unique ideas and creative process are celebrated.
