Winter Classes


Draw and Paint What I Do
Instructor: Joan Beeman
This class is designed for your young child to create original drawings, paintings, and a 3-dimensional project. Your child will learn to create from life experiences without relying on coloring books or copy materials. Children draw and paint with emotion which can be a very exciting experience for them as they mix colors, and express their feelings through color. Parents or grandparents are encouraged to accompany the child. We will have a 10 minute break time with a small snack in class. 
Saturdays: Feb 8, 15, 22 & Mar 1 — 10 am-12 pm
Ages: 4-7 
Class Fee: $45 (Members $40)
