Get Creative!!

Home school Times Available!!!

We are all born creative, but if we neglect to develop and strengthen these skills, our creativity becomes inhibited. Did you know that learning to draw is known to increase visual perception, increase concentration, build confidence, and improves self-esteem? It also can improve hand-eye coordination & fine motor skills and teach ways to make decisions and solve problems.  Come have fun and learn basic drawing and painting techniques in a non-competitive and nurturing environment. A variety of media will be used (watercolors, pastel, pencil, paint markers etc).

Spanish Program for Children

Homeschool Times Available!!!

The program will be open to children from ages 8-12 years old. Research shows that when children are exposed to foreign languages at an early age they are more likely to speak as a native speaker in the language.  Children have an innate ability to acquire multiple languages; they are curious, and able to imitate sounds perfectly. They are open-minded, and unlike adolescents, they are not self-conscious about making new sounds. They are not concerned about appearing silly while participating actively. This natural ability diminishes with age. Take advantage of this natural ability and enroll your child in this exciting, fun Spanish language program.  $10.00 book fee required payable to the instructor on the first day of class.

Mudworks-Pottery

Denise Kupiszewshi, The Mud Peddler, has been instructing pottery classes for over ten years.  She has been honored as an artist-in-residence at Boarman Arts Center and is an active member of the Shenandoah Potters Guild.  In these fun new classes for youth ages 7-14 participants will have the opportunity to explore their creativity and get their hands dirty!  Each Mudworks class will include a different hand built pottery project, so returning students will always do something new.  In some cases participants will create two or more projects a day.  Everyone will work with slab, coil, and pinch techniques. Notes:  Please wear clothes that are comfortable and can get dirty!   All supplies will be provided.  No experience is necessary!  Parents are asked to drop off their child.
