New – Young Rembrandts
New Program Alert!
Are your littles showing an interest in drawing? Or want to stir those creative juices? Look no further! We have now partnered with Young Rembrandts to bring you some introduction to drawing classes for those young minds.
Children already love to draw – we just take their love a little further by giving them a solid foundation that will take their drawings from doodles to confidence-boosting achievements. During our once a week classes, we use an innovative step-by-step approach with drawing topics your kids can relate to and learn from. This process is specifically designed to improve student perception, visualization and organizational skills.
Our program dispels the myth that art is a talent a child has or does not have. With your help we can work with the children in your community and help to build their confidence in drawing!
We use only dry media such as crayons, pencil crayons and markers making our clean up very easy. We will leave no mess behind and make this a fun and safe program for children from four to twelve years of age.
Our nurturing and encouraging environment bring out the best in children. Students enrolled in Young Rembrandts’ classes also display an increase in the following skills:
• Fine motor skills, handwriting readiness, and attention span
• Attention to detail, time on task
• Visual/spatial organization
• Patience, discipline, and focus
Young Rembrandts is a different kind of learning and a powerful kind of fun!
