Youth Studio Classes
At Art Play Café, our classes spark creativity and build artistic confidence for students of all ages. We offer both structured classes for skill-building and casual drop-in programs for open-ended exploration.
Structured Classes
Art Explorers
Grades K–4
Mondays | 3-4 pm
6 Weeks | 1 hr
$150
Curious young artists will love Art Explorers, a class designed to introduce students to a wide variety of art materials and techniques. Each week, children will experiment with drawing, painting, sculpture, and mixed media while learning how to explore, take creative risks, and express themselves. The focus is on process and discovery- celebrating the joy of making art rather than the final product.
Foundations of Art
Grades 5-8
Tuesdays & Thursdays | 3:30 - 4:45
6 Weeks | 1.25 hr
$175
Foundations of Art is tailored for older students who are ready to deepen their artistic skills and understanding. Through guided lessons in drawing, painting, and design, students will build a strong foundation in technique while also learning about the elements and principles of art. Along the way, they’ll explore key moments in art history and practice bringing their own creative voice into their work.
