Special Event WorkshopsWorkshops are single-day special events held at The Children's Art Studio. What is a workshop like?
The children enter the studio and see a table covered with beautiful books and art materials. They may read or begin to work with the materials: tape, string, crayons, markers, watercolor, wood, cardboard, and more. After a moment to adjust and explore, we sit down on the floor together to read and discuss the morning project. The morning project usually involves specific instruction on an art-making technique with the objective to learn to draw in a particular way, learn how to use an ink brush, or acquire an approach to making prints. After the morning project, we break for a long lunch and outdoor play at Fort Reno park. After outdoor play, we start a second project which explores three-dimensional sculpture, or a collaborative group project. At the end ot the day, we slow down and engage in group discussion to reflect on the work we created.
Workshops are dedicated for children five (5) years and older. They are not appropriate for younger children. The cost for the day is $85. Class runs from 9 - 2 o'clock. Please pack a lunch and dress your child in old, comfortable clothes. We get messy!
