4 and under

It is beneficial to start taking structured art classes when a child is ready for instruction and is able to keep focus on one task for about 45 minutes. Also, there should be an interest in drawing things alike, i e figurative drawing. All these requirements are usually met between 4 and 5 years. Before that, kids are normally great abstract painters. They love to experiment with different art materials: liquid acrylic paint on cardboard, watercolor over crayons, pastels on construction paper, play dough and seeds and so on. They create amazing color harmonies and fearlessly paint on huge canvases and boards. They learn not through instruction but through play. And we do believe that a parent is the best partner for this playful art exploration.
