The Messy Artist Information

At The Messy Artist, art is a platform for learning. Our station play for 1.5 - 5 year olds is not only fun, but serves a specific purpose in promoting social, emotional, and intellectual growth. Our approach is rooted in the research of some of the greatest thinkers in child development, such as Jean Piaget, Maria Montessori, and John Dewey. As students advance, they enter our Studio 356 program for ages 6 and up, where they begin learning principles of art, art history, and technical skills using a variety of media. In addition, we offer intensive art classes for students who qualify, where we expand our skillset and explore the dialogue between artist and viewer. Adults can indulge in our Wine Dine & Design workshops, where they can select a painting to create with friends while they enjoy refreshments and an evening of socialization. Children 2 and up can even celebrate their birthdays here. We offer a wide variety of art projects, party packages, and add-ons for a fully customized experience. Regardless of age, we encourage students to explore, create, and grow. I Can Do It! All Messy Artist activities and kids art lessons are developed to be age appropriate, and therefore encourage independence. As your children progress through the class and realize their successes, they become more willing to try out new ideas and become more self-assured. We teach a variety of kids art classes, including sculpture, clay, and drawing and painting for children. The process of expressing their own artistic vision builds children's self-esteem.
