Art in the Garden - Fall, 2021 & Spring 2022

We have added more classes to accommodate different age groups and schedules! Mrs. Otte will lead four after-school outdoor classes Spring, 2022 for these age groups:

  • Mondays Grades 2-6, 3:30-5:00pm
  • Tuesdays Grades K-2, 3:30-5:00pm
  • Wednesdays Grades 6-8, 3:30-5:00pm
  • Thursdays Grades 2-6 , 3:30pm-5:00pm

Artstudio 4 Kids offers small group art instruction with up to 12 students in an outdoor garden patio setting. There is ample space in between each student and no sharing of art materials in keeping with the county's COVID guidelines.

These 1.5-hour classes blend fine art techniques with your child’s own creative expression. We discuss aspects of art history (the masters), contemporary artists, and the elements of art (line, space, color, balance, etc.), while letting them run with their own imagination. We mix and balance age-appropriate projects with creative ideas for the young artist. We paint, we draw, we use fine art materials like liquid watercolors, tempera + acrylic paints, and paint on canvas provided in class.

We're no longer accepting drop-ins at this time. Instead, we're asking for a full commitment for the session as each class builds on the previous one. Otherwise, students who drop in after the first class have to catch up with the rest of the class.

Art materials will be provided.

If these days and times do not work, you can also schedule a “Make your own art group”. Contact me for details: geraldineotte@gmail.com
