In our small classes, teaching artists engage students in skill-based instruction and hands-on project activities where they can share and celebrate their work. Our instructors are practicing artists, and child whisperers who create a fun, responsive, and supportive studio environment for all young artists. Class activities include storytelling, studio time, games, movement, self-guided projects, and ongoing reflection to build trust and understanding. *Please review the class descriptions on our website http://www.kala.org/education/after-school-programs/. Tuition fees are a flat rate regardless of participant arrival/departure.
