In this foundational art class we will journey into the world of watercolor, block crayons, and handwork.

Watercolor invites a sense of flow and wonder as children experience how colors blend and breathe on the page, encouraging patience, presence, and emotional expression.
Block crayons, with their broad strokes and rich pigments, support fine motor development while allowing young artists to explore form and story through color.
Handwork connects mind to hand and engages the fine motor skills to create beautiful works of art.

Our Art Essentials class fosters a soulful connection to creation, honoring each child’s inner world and natural rhythm of learning.

We will conclude with a special student art showcase on the final day, inviting families to celebrate the creativity and growth of our young artists.

Sample topics we will explore throughout the Semester:

Primary & Secondary Color Exploration
Discover the magic of color through hands-on work with watercolor and block crayons as we explore how primary colors mix to form secondary ones.

Blending & Simple Form
Move from color exploration into blending and shaping techniques, laying the foundation for form creation using watercolor and block crayon.

Nature Mandalas & Intro to Handwork
Create mandalas inspired by natural patterns and begin working with yarn to develop fine motor skills and creative expression.

Craft-Making & Mixed Media Integration
Apply learned techniques that weaves together watercolor, crayon, and handwork with yarn to create imaginative, tactile crafts.
