Students will learn art techniques as they use different mediums to explore color, shape, and line while creating animal themed projects. This class starts with an art themed project led by instructor Elena Gibson, and proceeds after mid-morning snack with instructor Suzanne Sayers for a theater portion of the class where students will listen to picture books from their favorite authors and act out various characters. Children will bring these characters to life by taking them from the page to the stage. Family and friends are invited into the classroom on the last day of class as we have a “theater share”.

  • Please provide a daily snack and drink for your child.
  • Materials are included in tuition.
