Recently local artist Carolyn Armstrong visited the Children’s Art Class; she brought examples of her wonderful colored pencil drawings and talked with the children and parents about her work.
GREENVILLE –The Art-Rageous Experience – Children’s Art Program has a few openings for the new session of classes – and your child can begin immediately. The children work on all kinds of visual arts each Saturday morning along with the support and encouragement of their parent or other adult. There are different projects each week and they also learn about different artists, art techniques and there are visits from local artists with some of their art work.
These classes are fun, age appropriate, and keep children’s mind and hands busy! The classes are sponsored by Council on Rural Services and taught by an experienced teacher/artist at a local downtown Greenville setting. There is one class for 4-5-6-7 year olds and another for 8-9-10-11 year olds.
Art programs also teach many other skills while doing art. Such as: problems have more than one solution and that questions can have more than one answer, teaches students that small differences can have large effects, and requires students to use their eyes and hands to give form to their ideas. Art helps young children explore creativity, to pay attention to detail, build self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment.
Fees for the classes are family affordable with full scholarships available if needed, all supplies are furnished. To enroll your child in this class, call Council on Rural Services at 1-866-627-4557 and ask for Debby Brayfield.
Come and join us – we are busy creating!
