3rd - 5th Grade
At CMYK Art Studio, classes for 3rd-5th grade students are geared towards learning proper technique and care for materials, building on foundational understanding of the elements and principals of art and design, continuing to experiment with more advanced materials, and building confidence to express their own artistic style. All of this takes place in a safe, fun, and uplifting environment where students collaborate with their peers, learn to encourage one another, and feel safe to express themselves freely.
Afterschool Art Intensives
Join us for a 4-week after-school Art Intensive where dive into a new art medium each class series. Our sessions are designed for up to 10 students, ensuring a personalized experience. Together, we'll cover studio rules, proper material care, and explore fresh art concepts, all while engaging in hands-on art-making! Additionally, each session will include a group critique, allowing students to support one another, discuss their artwork, reinforce what they've learned, and practice giving and receiving constructive feedback.
