Creative Thinkers (K-6)
An art class designed to spark curiosity and foster a love of learning
This is the kid's favorite class and also mine! It teaches students how to think outside the box and harness their creativity and individual learning styles. It combines visual and performance art with creative problem solving, critical thinking, and social-emotional skill building. We become architects, detectives, and superheroes conquering challenges and building confidence. This class introduces a variety of artistic styles, mediums, and techniques, broadening students understanding of the arts. By experimenting with creative strategies and collaborative performances, students develop foundational skills that set them up for success in learning and in life.
Art is a powerful tool engaging both hemispheres of the brain, stimulating creativity, and fostering a wide range of cognitive skills. Plus, it’s super fun. Join this class by registering below. Payment information will be emailed separately.

Meet the Teacher
Hi! My name is Beth. I work as a professional artist and I've been teaching art for over 15 years. Throughout my career, I've seen the transformative effect art can have on children. It's the one place they can make a mess, make mistakes, and create something great in the process. I see the pride and confidence it builds, the ideas it inspires, and the skills it develops. I’ve created fun play-based art classes to introduce foundational learning and artistic skills such as creative problem solving, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence to foster a love of learning and set students up for academic and personal success.
