    ​Using a variety of media, budding artists will improve their drawing and painting skills alongside new friends. Students will practice patience as they discover how to make their own artistic ideas come to life. Persevering despite making mistakes is a reoccurring theme, and kids are delighted when they make something beautiful. We discuss how to communicate big ideas with a simple visual, occasionally incorporating Biblical themes into the lesson when appropriate. Sibling discount available.
