Creativity starts early. Arts education inspires children to think in new and unusual ways, strategize and plan, and develop a curiosity for the incredible world in which they live. Sadly, schools can’t always offer everything a kid needs to develop their creativity. That’s where Art Habit steps in!
Our classes for children are based on changing monthly themes. As we dive into each theme, we employ different art techniques and skills — drawing, printmaking, painting, sculpture — to help reinforce what we are learning.
Classes last one hour and are open to children aged 5-10. Parents are welcome to wait in the maker space while their children are in class or pop across the street to get a coffee at The Hive.
Fall 2026 Class Schedule
Wednesdays: 3:00-3:50, or Thursdays: 4:30-5:20
September: Drawing Big and Small
Children explore different drawing techniques using pencil, colored pencil, and oil pastel. We’ll practice drawing at different scales and sizes, switching between using magnifying glasses to observe tiny details and large scale sheets of paper taped to the floor to get big, grand gestures.
October: Bookmaking and Art Journalling
First, we’ll learn how to make our own books – from hand-painting the cover to stitching the signatures to gluing in the end pages. Then, we’ll put our books to use, exploring different art journalling techniques, like sketching, doing multimedia layers, and collaging.
November: Gelli Plate Printmaking and Collage
Students will explore the exciting world of monotype printmaking using gelli plates. We’ll make botanical prints, use stencils to create texture, and learn about sequencing and process in printmaking. Then, we’ll take our gelli prints and cut them up in order to make creative collages.
Note: We’ll take a break for the months of December and January to accommodate hectic holiday schedules (although there will be plenty of short workshops on offer for kids during this time!) We’ll start up again from February-April with a new series of fun activities.
Price: Classes are $85/month. Enrollment is on a month-by-month basis, starting the first week of the month. There’s a $20 supply fee due on enrollment, which covers your child’s supplies for the entire school year.
