Children’s Painting Enrichment Program (Ages 6-11)
Students create realistic pieces or use their imagination as they explore the traditional technique of painting using non-toxic acrylics on a stretched canvas.
Young artists produce colorful landscapes, abstractions and still life paintings as they discover the basics of composition. Following step by step instructions, participants learn the proper use of paint and how to mix their own colors as they work on easels for the full painter’s experience!
