I'm so excited to announce that I have joined forces with a great local art studio that caters to kids to teach Earth Art classes for children 4-8 years in age. Please come check us out and share with your friends who are in the Greater Atlanta and Cobb County areas! More info. about the classes below...
About: Our
Earth Art classes include elements of earth science, art history, artistic
skill and technique building, while getting to use quality art materials and
natural items hand selected straight from the outdoors. Our focus is on
learning where our materials are coming from and how to use them to create,
classical art concepts and techniques, and the process of creating art from the
heart.
While students will sometimes get to take home finished
pieces, not all classes are centered on a take-home (wall-ready) piece, but
students will always get to take home something from the class whether it’s a
new material, practice sheets or sketches, or a finished picture.
These classes are designed so that you can either choose to
drop into one when it fits into your schedule, OR so that you can continue to
build skills on top of each other by attending them all. A different material
or concept will be introduced in each class, and each seasonal session will
revolve around a designated theme. If you plan on attending more than one
class, we recommend bringing a sketchbook each week.
This is a drop-off style class geared towards children ages 4-10 years
old. (Adults may sit and read at the tables outside of the studio inside
Champion Kids or take siblings to Open Play in one of the gyms on-site.)
