The goals of this youth art instruction series for tweens include fostering creativity and self expression, providing a safe and supported environment for creative risk-taking and encouraging collaboration and social interaction among peers. The classes aim to introduce various 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.
