ART&CRAFT WORKSHOPS:
POSITIVITY THROUGH ART
Creative Arts sessions for kids designed to stimulate
self-exploration and self-expression, encouraging
imagination, critical thinking, and positive mindset.
Beyond Art: not only will these workshops help your kids
approach and experience art with enthusiasm and curiosity,
but they will also involve personal, social, and emotional skills, promoting respect and stimulating self-confidence.
By looking at works of art, making art, and getting engaged
with all their senses in art-centered activities, the students will find a safe space for being inspired, and inspire,
through a slow, self-paced, play-based learning process.
The classes may include: Collages, Modeling Clay, Painting, Crafts, Drawing, Hands-on Activities, Art Games, Natural Elements, Recycled Materials, mixing pieces of Music, Literature and Storytelling, Performing Arts, and much more!
No specific skill is required!
Your kids will be guided step-by-step through the process, and will be fully immersed into a colorful atmosphere of Joy.
The methodology by which these lessons are developed
incorporates parts of various strategies
(Montessori, VTS, SEL, among others),
alongside pieces from my own journey as an artist, educator, museum docent, and theatrical set/prop/costume designer.

DRAWING COURSE
THROUGH THE 7 ELEMENTS OF ART
This course of 8 lessons will help your kid learn
the fundamentals of drawing
by using the 7 Elements of Art as a guide

Element of Art, and will include guided drawing activities
and practice, as well as observation exercises.

producing a final artwork.
