Classes begin Week of September 6th. Art
Explorers changes to new schedule September 1st.
2010 - 2011 Art Classes
At
Paint, Paper, Scissors our artists are
encouraged to engage in a variety of media. We
feel that the more students experience, the more
confident they become in themselves, and the
more avenues for creativity they encounter.
Paint, Paper, Scissors students are provided
with a nurturing environment that encourages
self discovery and self reliance. Children do
receive step-by-step instruction in each class
but they are also provided with ample time for
'free art' or time for personal freedom of
expression. We believe it is of utmost
importance to encourage artists, young and not
so young, to express themselves visually in
their own manner. By providing the tools and
instruction on how to use these media, we enable
the creative cogs in these gifted minds to turn
ideas into masterpieces.
