This exciting continuation of Creative Journey I invites both new and returning students to dive deeper into the world of art through all-new materials, techniques, and projects. Following a similar structure, students will build upon foundational skills in drawing, painting, printmaking, and sculpture—while exploring more advanced concepts like multi-layered compositions and functional sculptures. Young artists will experiment with new dynamic processes such as screenprinting and felting, gaining hands-on experience with techniques rarely introduced at this age level. Each project is thoughtfully designed to encourage problem-solving, independence, and artistic confidence. Whether your child is just beginning or continuing their creative journey, this class offers a fresh and inspiring experience that expands their skills while introducing entirely new ways to think, create, and express themselves.
