We are very excited to offer Art lessons as part of our curriculum. Art education helps
a child to develop creativity in all academic fields and have a better sense of self.
Art Class for 4-7 year olds: We will be teaching art of drawing and painting using mostly
decorative approach (coloring sea shells, stones, finger-painting, stenciling, etc).  All these
exercises help kids understand complexity of transferring space and volume. In this course kids
introduced to decorative drawing, concepts of symmetry – asymmetry, stylizations, color scale
and proportion.  Lessons will be concentrated on the drawing composition: choice of a format,
filling the space evenly, selecting the center and accentuating it with various contrast
techniques. Kids study various types of lines and geometrical figures. Children learn to use
various art materials and techniques: pastels, water color, tempera, ink, acrylic paints, oil and
chalk.

Art Class for kids 7 and older:  Older children draw still-life, landscapes, learn proportions of the
human body and copy works of great masters.  Curriculum includes concepts of a line of
horizon, light and shade, shading, charts and more.
