Three one-week sessions for budding artists

Garrison Art Center is launching a summer arts program for Pre-K kids, ages 2, 3 and 4. Budding artists will explore ways to talk about, visualize and represent their world through drawing, painting, sculpture, print-making, art appreciation and even color theory. Demonstrations from Art Center teaching artists will provide additional inspiration for these ARTtots.

 The three themed weeks can be taken individually or as a series, culminating in building a three-dimensional exhibit of their art — and, of course, a celebration. Each day’s art curriculum will be rounded out with singing, story time, and a healthy snack.

 The sessions will last from July 17 to Aug. 2, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m.  The cost is $80 per three-morning week, with a discount of $5 for siblings, and $220 for all three weeks, with a $10 discount per sibling.  Two-year-olds and those in diapers must attend with an adult.
