Studio 4 The Young Artist

Studio 4 is a place for young artists to experience painting and drawing in a studio setting. Brainstorming techniques will be used to create themes and compositions. The young artist will learn how to use their imagination in a group dynamic – as well as individually – and will create art at their own pace, enjoying the atmosphere of an artists’ studio.

Studio 4 the Young Artist is a fun way to experience and introduce different ways to create art. At the end of the session, we will hold a gallery show for all students to showcase art they created.
