Draw & Paint for Life

Draw & Paint for Life by Maureen Claffy is a screen-free STEAM program. This analog art program supports higher levels of mathematical reasoning by teaching an understanding of geometric shapes in space. It also supports emotional regulation and builds self-confidence and communication skills. The program adapts to the changing needs of young artist and is completely new every weekend. We turn geometric shapes into objects to capture children's imaginations while imparting technical drawing skills, using high-quality art supplies.

Session 1: Circle > Sphere, Oval > Cylinder
Session 2: Square > Cube, Rectangle > Rhomboid
Session 3: Ribbon, Triangle > Pyramid

All supplies are provided for classroom use and students receive a custom-printed ArtCard with the week's lesson. All teachers are personally selected by Maureen and fully trained in her method.

 

Classes kick-off on December 2nd on Tuesdays from 3:05-4:15pm (session runs 10 weeks). An instructor will walk the children outside and make sure everyone is safely picked up for their return home. Sibling discount available. Sign up HERE.
