The next three classes will involve projects that use the materials, and the final class will have an art show to present the various pieces of art created by the students.
The Classes will be offered in units of four classes on Thursday afternoons from 3:30 to 4:30. The fee is $60 per child per unit for members and $70 for non-members. These programs require advanced registration (use this form). Our second session begins April 3rd, 2008.

"It is so wonderful to see the students get excited when they discover how much they can do and create," Miss Gail (Maas), resident artist and instructor at the Met. 
"With a craft, children follow directions to complete a project and try to make it look like the example we give them. With art, the children have the ability to really explore their creativity and individuality."
