OUR PHILOSOPHY

Every day is a fresh canvas, a new opportunity to create. We believe art is a journey of discovery, not just a destination. Every day is a fresh canvas, a chance to explore, experiment, and grow. We champion Process Art, celebrating the unique creative journey of each child. We provide diverse materials and experiences, fostering self-directed exploration and imaginative play. We understand that art is vital for development, nurturing curiosity, problem-solving skills, and confident self-expression. We're not about "perfect" outcomes; we're about empowering children to become independent, inventive thinkers, ready to contribute their unique perspectives to the world.

PROCESS ART VS PRODUCT ART

PROCESS ART

Unleash your creativity with a range of materials! The possibilities are endless for art, from beads and yarn to wood, fabric, and foam. Let that inner artist express itself in any way imaginable - no restrictions needed! 

  • Very few directions for children to follow. 

  • Art focuses on the experience and exploring techniques, tools, and materials. 

  • The child is not interrupted or corrected on how/where they draw, glue, or paint. 

  • The finished product is unique, original, and entirely the child's own. 

  • An open-ended, enjoyable experience. 

  • Motor skill development 

  • Stress/anxiety reduction 

  • Develops creativity and imagination 

  • Nurtures cognitive skills 

  • Allows the child to have agency over their art based on their interests to create something with personal significance. 

PRODUCT ART

Product art can take shape in many ways. It can mean taking ideas from paintings and sculptures and applying them creatively to everyday products such as clocks, cushions, and mugs. Children can also be presented with a sample for step by step instructions to be followed. These are often reminiscent of traditional preschool projects (paper plate animals and cotton ball sheep. There are endless sources of inspiration to draw from, while adding your unique design sense.

  • Fine motor skill development 

  • Stress/anxiety reduction 

  • Develops creativity 

  • Learn how to remember and follow multi-step instructions 

  • Practice self-discipline. Children cannot mix and apply any color they want if they want the painting to look like their favorite cartoon character 

  • If painting from memory, children can work on recalling images 

  • Still allows the child to put their twist on the project
