CHILDREN’S ART CLASSES

AGES 2-12

Instruction is diversified to foster artistic growth in a fun atmosphere filled with discovery, connection, possibility, and celebration.

As a parent, you want more than a simple drop-in activity to pass the time—you want your child engaged in something meaningful. At Hands Create, our after-school and summer programs go far beyond basic arts and crafts. We offer a fun, enriching experience where creativity thrives and learning happens naturally.

Each session is thoughtfully designed to be both rewarding and educational, helping your child grow artistically, think critically, and express themselves with confidence—all while having a great time.

Our processed based approach to teaching meets each student exactly where they are on their personal artistic journey—whether they’re just beginning or already developing a strong creative voice. A 5-year-old may need space to freely explore and experiment with materials, while a 12-year-old might benefit from thoughtful guidance to help shape their unique ideas into a meaningful work of art.

INTRO TO ART- PRE-SCHOOL WEE HANDS (Age 4-5 DROP OFF) Thursday's Wee Hands 1:30-2:30pm

WEE HANDS on Thursday’s 1:30-2:30pm

Introduce your young artist to the world of visual arts in this exploratory class that blends art history, literature, music, theater, and movement. Students will experiment with various art mediums, tools, and techniques designed for their developmental stage, with an emphasis on discovery and creativity rather than a finished product. This is a drop-off class to foster independence, so caregivers are not permitted to stay. For children who may need extra support, we recommend our Toddler Sip and Paint sessions until they feel comfortable with our studio environment and instructors.

All art supplies are included.

ART I - BEGINNER HANDS (K-2nd Grade)

ART I- BEGINNER HANDS (K-2nd Grade):

Through engaging two- and three-dimensional projects that integrate art history, music, and movement, students embark on a journey of creative exploration. Emphasis is placed on experimentation and the artistic process, fostering a deeper understanding of different art media and techniques. This dynamic course encourages students to express themselves creatively while building a solid artistic foundation. Our widely popular curriculum repeats every 3-4 years, so every project your child enjoys each session will be different.

ART II - SMALL HANDS (2nd-6th Grade)

ART II- SMALL HANDS (2nd-6th Grade):

Art II builds upon the foundational elements introduced in Art I, incorporating a deeper exploration into the principles of design. Students engage in both two- and three-dimensional art projects that integrate these principles with a focus on creativity and skill refinement. Through the study of art history, exposure to diverse artists, and exploration of world cultures, students develop a broader perspective on art and its applications. Emphasis is placed on creative use of imagery and media, encouraging students to further develop their artistic abilities while fostering a deeper understanding of design concepts. Our curriculum repeats every 3-4 years, so every project your child enjoys each session will be different.
