Monthaven Arts & Cultural Center

Embark on a creative journey with our mixed media art class, where imagination knows no bounds! Young artists ages 5 – 8 will learn to express themselves through a multitude of textures, colors, and form all while unleashing their creativity and developing their artistic skills in a supportive and fun environment.

Children will discover the joy of combining different mediums such as acrylic, watercolor, papers, fabrics, found objects, and more.  Projects may include such themes as animals, books and pop culture, just to name a few.

This class emphasizes self-expression, enabling children to communicate their thoughts, feelings, and ideas through their artwork.  Group activities and collaborative projects will encourage teamwork and the exchange of ideas, fostering a sense of community among young artists.

Students will pursue the following learning objectives during this 19 week course:

• Explore Line.
• Explore color (color wheel)
• Explore shapes (organic and inorganic)
• Explore texture.
• Explore forms.
