Young artists will explore a range of fine art media, may include 2D and 3D, painting, drawing, printmaking, paper-making, ceramics, video art, and more. We open with circle time and sketchbook time. This will be a fun and informative class for young artists that are 4-6 years old.Attention Parents/Guardians:  We will send out text/email reminders and updates through the MyRec software.   Please make sure that notifications have not been turned off and confirm your settings are correct.  If not, you will miss out on valuable information pertaining to your child’s class. Please have young artists wear clothes appropriate for messy art fun (they might get paint or other permanent marks on them).  We will use smocks when possible, but they may not prevent stains on clothing.The Arts Education Department at Lyndon House Arts Center is dedicated to providing high-quality arts education curriculum and enrichment to youth, adults, and teens in the Athens area.
