Who Is
Small Hands Big Art?
Small Hands Big Art provides fine art enrichment programs for children & young adults up to age 14, through age and developmentally appropriate classes, parties, camps and workshops. Mixed media activities include painting, drawing, collage, printmaking, sculpture & more!
The bright and open studio provides a lively space that is safe, engaging, organized and welcoming. Here children can feel free and uninhibited to explore their creativity without worrying about making a mess – and parents don’t have to scrub markers off the walls or paint out of the carpet!
Toddlers and Pre-School Children are introduced to a supportive social environment in which to gradually explore their creative independence, to build social and coordination skills, and self confidence. Older students are guided through the creative process through encouragement of their original self expression partnered with eye-opening experiences with traditional and innovative art making mediums and influencers.
The Small Hands Big Art
Approach
To promote each child’s unique expression and discovery of the joy of art, we believe it is important to provide them with artistic freedom and latitude to make their own creative choices and work at their own pace, while downplaying the aesthetic value of the finished product. Regardless of the project, materials or medium we are working with, children are given suggested topics and techniques to stimulate their imagination and help them to visualize their ideas. They are not always given prescribed step-by-step procedures, directions, or examples to copy, which can inhibit self-expression and lead to a frustrating urge for perfection in the child.
We strive to stimulate their thoughts, feelings, and perception in a way that inspires and encourages each child to express their ideas visually, while offering individualized guidance during the creative process as needed.
