Art with Alison offers many different types of art instruction classes throughout the year, for all ages of children from Pre-K to Junior High School. In the right atmosphere art becomes a powerful tool to support children to grow into healthy confident adults. Art with Alison provides quality materials, supportive structure and caring experienced instruction to create an environment that offers:
• Creative adventure and process
• Encourages spontaneous self-expression
• Respects each child’s individual needs
• Removes the pressure of performing
The studio classes offer a safe context devoid of comparison or criticism. Children learn to trust, express the richness of their world, and respond to the critical judging voices within. The summer outdoor classes allow children to discover the wonders of nature and the importance of caring for our environment.
The basic principles of Art with Alison are:
• Creativity as play, adventure and self-expression
• Intuition and spontaneity as the fuel and fire of creation
• Creativity as a tool to enhance children’s lives
The painting develops confidence and self-esteem with an increased freshness and joyful participation in life. All children are invited to come and experience the wonder of art, through both painting, drawing, and sketching.
