Wee Little Arts
Teaching the creative process to young artists Instructor: Marg Bucher Ages: 4 – 5
A preschool visual arts program dedicated to engaging and empowering children by helping them to discover the creative process based on four 8-week sessions: Elements of Art, Drawing, Painting and Three Dimensions. The same subjects are taught each year, but with different projects, so a student is not repeating projects, but learning is reinforced and added to with each class. Fundamental elements are introduced and the students apply these elements to their work. A variety of media are used to inspire experimentation. Both traditional and contemporary artists’ work is shown to expose the students to old and new ideas.

Nature-al Art
An artistic class using elements from nature Instructor: Cath Cowan Ages: 3 – 5 8-week session
In this new class for preschoolers led by instructor Cath Cowan, students will learn how to interact with and embrace the outdoors by using found and recycled materials to create projects. Through their practice and exploration, youngsters will become more familiar with their surroundings and the bountiful surprises tucked away in nature. We will find that there are not only practical applications for the things we discover in our habitat, but that there are fun and imaginative ones as well.
Projects will include watercolor painting with plant dyes, basket weaving with vines and creating a nature kaleidoscope.
