Mixed Media (Ages 8–12)

Explore, experiment, and create across materials.
In this hands-on class, students will try out a wide range of art-making techniques, including drawing, painting, collage, sculpture, and printmaking. Through guided projects and open-ended exploration, students will build confidence, creativity, and visual storytelling skills while learning how different materials work together.
