Children's
Classes
Art-4-All, located near Gaston Avenue, Somerville, NJ, offers art classes for children and adults. There are courses for all ages and abilities as well as special parent-child classes and senior citizen discounts. Instruction is offered in drawing, painting, ceramics, sculpture, and various other art forms. Each course meets ONCE a week and features small classes to guarantee individual attention.
Our course of study for children of
all ages is an experiential program with an emphasis on creativity and
self-awareness through visual expression. In other words, process over
product.
Children are natural artists, having a wonderful innate sense of color
and design, we are merely guides, providing avenues of art experiences
in a myriad of art materials that allow the student the opportunity to
explore the many art processes, imbuing it with their own unique and personal
stamp on the ideas presented. It is our hope, that if an idea is presented
and there are ten children in the group at that time, that we will receive
ten individual and different interpretations.
Almost all of our projects are multi-media and multi-process, providing
the child a sense of the time necessary to make an art expression that
is truly special. We teach the proper use of the various materials, the
many possibilities inherent in their use, and how different combinations
of materials can best acheive the desired effects. It is known that the
right side of the brain is primarily the creative side, what makes teaching
children so wonderful is their ability to use both sides, the analytical
and creative simultaneously.
We look forward to sharing our knowledge, wonder and joy with you and
your children, in exploring the beauty of our world through the visual
arts.
All classes are TWELVE SESSIONS.
All classes meet ONCE per week.
Classes begin September 15. 2008.
