Art Classes – Kids, Youth and Teens
2021 Winter and Spring Schedules are now posted.
NOTICE: If Muskoka goes into the Gray Zone classes will be replaced with Online Zoom.
Kids and Youth Art Programs are about exploring the expressive arts. The goal of our classes is to unleash the young artist within. How? By providing the tools by teaching various techniques and exposing various media; by providing time for practice and play in an encouraging atmosphere; and by providing opportunities to apply new skills in free time moments.
Art Classes, Camps and Workshops

Artful-Kids In Studio and Online Classes
NOTICE: If Muskoka goes into the Gray Zone classes will be replaced with Online Zoom.
Exploration, experimenting and play are key to our children’s development. Tactile learning, a chance to process, practice and apply various skills without fear of judgment is an important aspect of child development skills, creative thinking and expression.
Art is a tool which allows for such processing. It creates joy, promotes self worth and helps to develop self confidence.
All materials are supplied
ongoing art classes

These classes are designed to peak interest, ask questions, learn to solve design and layout challenges creatively. We continue to learn and apply various skills and techniques in a variety of media.
Catherine will be adding a flavour to the classes teaching How to make puppets, painting animals and characters.
At this time, encouraging the young artist to experiment and to develop a personal style is key. Each of us has a personal signature……..art is a great way to discover that!
