Together you and your
child will discover the excitement of creating art! Tiny artists
are introduced to lines, shapes, colors, and textures, while using
washable tempera or watercolor paints. Projects are process oriented
but cleverly designed to create a recognizable product. Activity
and songs are themed to the art projects. Dress for mess and create
memories while having fun! KidzArt: PRESCHOOL DISCOVER Through creative and fun exercises, children draw, paint,
make prints and create 3-dimensional projects while experimenting
with watercolor, illustration markers, pastels, clay, collage, and
stamps. They learn to
turn scribbles into lines and shapes and to draw recognizable shapes and forms.
Learning to draw is as complex as learning to read. In essence a child is learning
a new language which has both form and function. KidzArt guides young children
in the transition
from random scribbling to intentional drawing by helping them see with
focused eyes the world around them and how things fit together.

State St, Ste.7-168 CA 93105 4. I want to enroll my child, but did not get a flyer. What do I do? All classes for the entire school year are listed on this website or you can pick one up at your school’s front office. If you have further questions you can always call 805-964-6435. 5. How many children do you accept in your class? We limit our classes to 18 students to ensure every child receives enough encouragement and attention 6. What ages/grades do you accept? We teach art to students K-6 in our after school program, and younger ones at separate locations. We prefer to separate the grades K, 1-3 and 4-6 into three classes so that all of the students are challenged at the appropriate level. Depending on enrollment we may have one class with all of the students. Because our student to teacher ratio is low, we are able to guarantee that our younger and beginner students get extra attention and our older and advanced students are given additional challenges. 8. Does my child need to bring anything? No, KidzArt provides all artist-quality supplies. 9. Can you pick my child up at his/her classroom? We do pick up our Kindergarten students from their classrooms or after-school care. We will ensure that all children make it to the KidzArt classroom before the class starts. For grades 1st -6th f you are worried about your child finding the classroom, instruct them to go to the front office and they will help direct him/her to the class. KidzArt Certified Instructors are a combination of teaching artist and current or future teachers. All of our instructors go through a comprehensive training on the KidzArt method. The KidzArt program is a national program and its methods have been proven for over 15 years! All of our instructors are fingerprinted and cleared through the CA Department of Justice. 11. Is every class or session different? Yes, KidzArt projects do not repeat. 12. What kind of projects will my child do? Throughout the year, students will draw, paint, sculpt, do print-making, paper folding, and create multi-media projects. KidzArt is a drawing based art-enrichment program designed to enhance visual arts skills and build each child’s confidence. We use a wide variety of artist quality media, cover the fundamentals of art and drawing, explore art from different cultures, and incorporate art history and great artists. Each and every project is “kid tested” to ensure that all projects are fun and successful! 13. Is there a theme for each session? No, within each session, students will do a variety of drawing and multi-media projects including animals, people, landscapes, and still life objects. Projects and media used throughout the year will include Prismacolor Illustration Markers, ArtStix, Oil Pastels, Soft Pastels, Charcoal, Fabric Pens, Sandart, Scratch Art, Watercolor, and Biocolor. Decorative papers, canvas, cooper foil, and other surfaces are used. 14. How does your program inspire creativity? In each and every class we brainstorm how students can add or change their drawings and projects, ensuring that they learn to take risks and think “outside the box.” 15. Did my child REALLY draw that picture? YES! Parents new to KidzArt sometimes ask if their child’s picture was traced. NEVER…every piece of work that children do in KidzArt is the ORIGINAL art of that child. Teachers guide children in the process but never draw for them, thereby allowing the child the full creative process. |
