About
(4) Wednesdays, September 10 - October 1, 2025, from 4:00 – 5:30 pm.
Ideal for children aged 6 to 10, including those in kindergarten through third grade, the four-week program is crafted to be educational—aligning with Massachusetts Learning Standards for the Arts—and enjoyable, allowing students to express their individuality while fostering a lifelong appreciation for the arts.
Led by art instructor Jennifer Stratton, students explore the five exhibition galleries at the Cape Cod Museum of Art, introducing young learners to a diverse array of artistic styles and techniques, inspiring their art projects. Weekly activities are varied and dynamic! Jennifer may engage students with painting in watercolor or acrylic paints, creating a mixed media collage, introducing printmaking techniques, or working with materials to create three-dimensional sculptures. A guest speaker will share their knowledge with the class on the current exhibition. On the last class of the session, families are invited to a mini student exhibition to learn about the students’ artwork.
