Description

Acorn Explorers

Designed for ages 3-4

Acorn Explorers introduces young children to the exciting world of art through sensory-rich, play-based activities. Over each session, students will explore the foundational elements of art and design, such as color, shape, line, texture, and form. Each class begins with a storytime that introduces artistic concepts or famous artists in a way that’s engaging and accessible for young learners.

After storytime, children dive into hands-on projects like painting, drawing, and collage-making. They’ll explore a variety of materials—feeling different textures, mixing colors, and experimenting with shapes—allowing their senses to lead the way. This playful exploration helps children discover art-making as a joyful process of creativity and learning.

Note: This course is only three weeks, as we will not meet the Wednesday before Thanksgiving. 

Course Outcomes for Young Learners:

Introduction to Basic Art Concepts: Children will gain an understanding of color, shape, line, texture, and form through tactile and visual exploration.
Sensory Engagement: Students will engage their senses, using touch, sight, and movement to experience art-making in an interactive and enjoyable way.
Creative Expression: Through hands-on projects, children will explore their creativity and build confidence in expressing their ideas through art.
Motor Skill Development: Fine and gross motor skills will be enhanced as children manipulate a variety of materials during each project.
Social-Emotional Growth: Children will practice important social skills like sharing, turn-taking, and communication while working on solo and group projects.
