Messy Mini Masters Art Classes

Messy Mini Masters Art Classes Preschool art classes consist an art project inspired by the work of an Art Master, a process-focused project or a seasonal theme.

Children are given instruction in a technique, but are given freedom to explore the technique and a wide variety of materials. Appropriate literature is used to enrich the lesson. Some after school classes and holiday gift making classes are offered for elementary students as well.
