Mixed-media Art Classes for Children

from 4:00-5:30 p.m. on Mondays and Fridays at
Susana's Studio on east side Santa Cruz

In the weekly classes, students:

  • learn about making wonderful, imaginative pictures by using a variety of media and basic design principles
  • make story-related art and personally inspired pictures
  • work from both observation and imagination
  • expand their work on projects for more than one class session, increasing focus

Students participate in yearly international art exchanges to Kenya, Russia, or other countries as desired. We have a special friendship with Fanat, an art school in Novosibirsk, Russia.
