Some of Our Favorite Lessons for the Youngest Artists:

Can you drive a Truck through Paint?

A favorite lesson for all ages, this painting is created with toy cars and trucks. Piet Mondrian would be proud as we learn about primary colors, geometric design, and noisy traffic.

Driving Cars through New York City

Mondrian's 1943 Painting "Broadway Boogie Woogie" is an abstraction of the lights and sounds of New York City streets.  

David Hockney in Diapers

When you need the swimming pool painted under your bright yellow diving board, sometimes just a diaper and a large paint brush is all you need.

The Things we Do...

Leroy Neiman used the best expressive lines in his sports-themed paintings.  Make our own body  jump, dance, run, and spin using just the movement of the oil pastels.

Healthy Food-Face

Skyscapers and Architects

Playing with your food is okay!  The more you touch, feel, and become familiar with jicama, spinach, and peppers, the more likely they will be a part of your diet, right?

A porcupine made meticulously from toothpicks dipped in many colors of paint.  Mexican folk art inspired this artwork, and kids wanted to work long past their grown-ups!

Ever heard of "Earthworks?"  We didn't use bulldozers and major bodies of water like Robert Smithson, but we built a lot of spirals!

Monet's Trains

Stringing Large "Beads"

Zen Garden with Rake

Trains just lure in the preschoolers... and Monet loved their dramatic puffs of steam, too.  The children in Fredericksburg travel to the train stations and countryside of France.

Does your child need more meditation and relaxation?  Yes, that IS a miniature rake.  And yes, that two year old is arranging the rocks in a balanced and peaceful Japanese rock garden.

Robert Indiana and his "LOVE" sculptures shows us how letters can make art. Using paper letters and toilet paper tubes, the children strung the letters to spell their names or a word of their choice.
