兒童與手工藝藝術俱樂部（一年級）- 進行中

Does your early elementary student love to paint, draw and create? This is the class for them! This course allows students to explore different art mediums and projects in a low-pressure, student-centered environment. Each week students will complete a different art project with step-by-step teacher guidance. Students are encouraged to add their own unique flair to each project through color choices and other project variations.

No previous art experience is required. Students should be able to hold a paint brush, utilize coloring supplies, and operate scissors with or without adult assistance. Younger students or those with learning differences may require adult assistance. Please let me know of any accommodations before class begins.

Years 1 and 2 can be completed in any order.

**This is an ongoing subscription. Payment is charged each Sunday before class meets. If a class isn't scheduled for the week, you will not be charged. If you aren't able to attend a week's session, you can unsubscribe before the weekend to avoid being charged for the upcoming session. It isn't possible to hold your seat without payment for the week. Class recordings are available for students who aren't able to attend the live class.**

Projects are listed by month and will be completed in order. This course runs throughout the year with breaks in Dec./Jan. and late spring through the summer. Projects include drawing, painting, abstract art, paper crafts, and texture exploration.
