Art Club
(for kids in grades 3 - 5)
Parents, this class is for your child if you feel that kids need more creative experiences!
The focus of my art clubs is on creativity, fun, and love of the arts! I also focus on an exploration of various materials and styles of projects. Some lessons will be based on famous artists and some lessons will be about creative thinking.
I truly believe that children do not get enough art in their lives, even when school is in session full time. Activities will include drawing, painting, printing, sculpting, collage and more!
Everyone will use hand sanitizer as they enter the studio and all surfaces will be cleaned between classes. Masks are optional. There are 8 spots available on a first-come, first-served basis. You are all set once you have paid AND filled out this registration form. These are 2 separate actions.

Do kids get enough character education these days? Isn't character as important as intelligence? This class is meant to be a fun way for kids to learn about positivity, attitude and self-esteem. Kids will participate in group discussions as well as personal reflection through journal writing.
There will also be games, an art component, and an activity related to my book "Kaci Keeps Going" which promotes the themes of self-esteem, perseverance and positive attitude. Additionally, we will set intentions for the coming year.
All activities will be geared toward the goal of getting kids to think about how positivity is so crucial in our attitudes about life. I want kids to be reminded that they are smart, kind, valuable and can do/get through hard things.
First-come, first served and there is room for 8. Must have a minimum of 4 to have the class.

A heart map is a type of art journaling in that it combines art and writing. This class will take your child through a series of verbal prompts from the instructor, allowing her to brainstorm the things she finds most meaningful in her life. Then, we will create a gorgeous piece of art with these ideas, with little pictures and with blended watercolor paints. These come out so cute! (I use "her" but, of course, my classes are not just for girls.)
