Discovering the pure joy and absolute excitement of creating
original art — with the bonus of having Mommy or Daddy* right there
— is what KidzArt: SQUIGGLES TO GRINS
is all about!
Two and three year olds are introduced to the lines and shapes that
make up the ‘language’ of art. This is achieved through creative
activities designed to enhance their motor skills, and complemented
with inspiring storytelling, poetry, and sing-alongs created by
Parents’ Choice Award winning KidzArt®
singer/songwriters. At this age level they find great delight in
exploring this new language by using washable paints and other
non-toxic art materials to create recognizable forms. Their artful
squiggles are soon followed by proud grins!
SQUIGGLES TO GRINS is a 35-45 minute
program where budding young artists interact with kids of their own age
in a fun and nurturing environment. In this non-threatening setting
they begin to grow emotionally while developing their language and
community skills. Parents, too have an opportunity to socialize with
the other parents. It’s hard to tell who is having more fun!
*Caregivers also are invited to participate.
All KidzArt programs put a
strong emphasis on creating the right classroom
environment.
Individual performance is greatly enhanced by a sense of
safety and well-being. When students are in a safe and
nurturing environment, they will thrive and creativity
will flourish.
Art is all about feeling the freedom to take risks, to
explore the unknown, to trust your own judgment. Because
when you are free to dream, you find the power to
create.
