NEW! PICASSO’S CHILDREN Young Artist Program Ages 3-9 yrs Picasso’s Children is an inspiring first introduction to art appreciation for young children. Our young artist program is the foundation for a lifetime love of fine art and for appreciating the world through an artist’s perspective. First, children are inspired like a master! In each class, we learn about a master artist in a fresh and fun new way. In a typical day we play interactive games, such as “I Spy” with a masterpiece! We make artwork relatable in a way where children innately “get it.” What was the weather like in this painting? Why were they wearing those clothes? Let’s enjoy the artist’s favorite snack! Next, it’s time for our young artists to create! Children work on age-appropriate projects in “the style” of the master they just learned about, and are encouraged to express themselves and feel free and comfortable. Our goal: happy children, at ease with art. Finally, it’s time to feel proud at an end of the season art show!
