*Guided independent study rather than structured, theme based projects. The focus will always be to encourage your child's creativity yet also stress a basic understanding of the elements of art such as color, shape, line, value, and texture.
*Students new to painting will also be given a series of exercises to increase their comfort level of the art materials that they will be using.
*Quality paints, canvas boards and other art supplies are used so that your child's original artwork can be enjoyed for many years to come.
