We invite you to learn, create and have fun making art with us at The Artery!
Why Art?
Because ART connects us more deeply to the world,
and opens us to new ways of seeing and thinking and because art is FUN!
Art is essential to the development of our children.
It builds creative thinkers and creative thinkers change the world.
Greater art education leads to fewer disciplinary problems, higher attendance, graduation rates and test scores.
Art is built into the foundation of culture. It enables us to see and understand other cultures. It bridges language barriers.
Art is a form of communication that challenges kids to express what they imagine.
Young people who engage in the arts are four times more likely than those without art education to participate in math and science fairs, to win awards for writing and to be recognized for high academic achievement.
Art Promotes:
Lifelong problem-solving skills
Motor skill development
Language skill development
Inventiveness
Presentation skills
Engagement
Critical thinking
Connection between self and culture
Connection with the wider world

Get ready to roll, stamp, press, and print! In this colorful class, young artists will explore the magical world of printmaking through a variety of fun techniques. From carving their own block prints to creating textured prints, nature prints, foam prints, monoprints, and more, every project is a new creative adventure.
Kids will discover how a single design can transform into a collection of unique works of art using vibrant inks, surprising textures, and plenty of imagination. Along the way, they'll learn about pattern, repetition, positive and negative space, color mixing, and how artists around the world have used printmaking to tell stories and express ideas for centuries.
This class is all about experimenting, getting a little inky, and celebrating the wonderful surprises that happen every time you lift the paper to reveal a brand-new print. Every artist will head home with a gallery of one-of-a-kind creations and a whole new appreciation for the art of printmaking!
