The goals of this youth art instruction series for tweens include fostering creativity and self-expression, providing a safe and supportive environment for artistic risk-taking, and encouraging collaboration and social interaction among peers. The classes aim to introduce various art techniques and mediums, allowing young artists to discover their unique styles and interests through art-based games, art challenges, and mini-projects. Additionally, the program seeks to build confidence, enhance problem-solving skills and emphasize the importance of commitment and perseverance in artmaking. We aim to cultivate a community of young artists who support and learn from one another. Student artists will be encouraged to keep a sketchbook of ideas and practice sketches, just as professional artists do.Sign up for one or both sessions! Scholarships available for youth with financial need, generously funded by WINGS. Please contact cherish@redwingarts.org for more information.
