Mission: To nurture and challenge the creativity and curiosity of students through art education.
Philosophy: CW believes art education gives children, teens and adults creative and critical thinking and observation skills that will help them pursue excellence in all areas of life. That’s why we emphasize thinking outside the box just as much as skill-building. Learning how to express your own unique ideas is just as important as learning how to use shadow and value. All our classes focus on experimentation as well as technique.
Methods: We design our lessons to introduce young artists to new techniques and materials while encouraging them to make discoveries. Most class sessions combine looking, experimenting, planning, and making. Students engage in examples of contemporary or historical art, encounter and experiment with new materials and creative technologies, then plan and execute their own projects. We meet every student at his or her own level. We know that artists, like art, come in all different forms and from all different backgrounds.
Programs: Weekly art classes, after-school enrichment programs, seasonal camps, private event rental, gallery exhibits, and public events.
