Descriptions of Workshops/Classes for Kids


Why art enrichment for your kids?
Kid's love art. They instantly use all their senses to create, construct, deconstruct, imagine, and explore.  Art Life is a place to concentrate, grow, and develop artistic interests in a small, professional, non-competitive setting outside of home and school.  We have designed classes to enrich your children's current art education, and because of our small class sizes we are able to focus on each child's individual art interests,  Our mission is to encourage and develop the artistic interests of your child through fun exerises and projects.
