Students may enroll for full day or half day.
Art Zone students stay in one classroom with their instructor as they explore, experiment and discover the arts with their peers. Art Zone allows artists the freedom to learn in a safe and supportive environment tailor-made for their young spirits. Instructors guide students through a creative process involving a variety of visual art materials and give students an opportunity to experience the art of performance through storytelling, dramatic play and movement.
