Kids Art Classes

About
Our kids lessons explore the fundamentals of painting & drawing, and are suitable for ages 8+Up. We will explore famous artists and art periods as well as the elements of art & principles of design. We offer 3 semesters a year (Fall, Winter & Spring), with 10 classes in each semester. We will dabble in acrylics, watercolours, pencil crayons, pencil, charcoal, pastels, marker and more! Each student receives their own sketchbook to work out ideas, and learn the value of process work. Classes are taught by Kerry Walford (Gallery Owner & Artist). Students are shown techniques, and encouraged to experiment, but above all we strive to have fun and enjoy the creative process!
