Fostering Creative Art Making with the Young Artist at AuSable Artisan Village

Your instructor for this class has a multitude of experiences and years working with the very youngest of artists; ages 1 and up!  Linda fully understands the developmental stages that all children experience as they first start to make marks on a surface.  

She has designed this class so that adults can work more knowledgeably with their young artist (ages 2-10); All children will need an adult helper present in the entirety of the class.  She will include even one year olds with the understanding that the youngest age may be unable to last the duration of the class. This will be an action packed class children creating drawings and paintings that can be saved in a scrapbook, journal, or framed for display.  

Parents/Caregivers will learn how to prepare and provide a creative experience in a safe and encouraging manner.  Parents will receive 3 handouts that describe developmental guides for ideas to use when working with children.  

This class is designed to assure that every adult who wishes to help a developing young child grow in their creative endeavors will be able to   provide appropriate guidance in future art making activities.
