Modern Motion Art Classes
We are delighted to host art classes for children. Our highly qualified staff will guide young artists as they design, sketch, and create their very own works of art.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should my child to bring to art class?
Definitely bring a water bottle, and besides that, just an open mind and an enthusiasm for learning art!
What should my child wear for art class?
Art can get messy sometimes, we recommend a t-shirt and pants that you would be ok with getting paint, marker or pencil on. For the pre-school classes, we do have smocks available for painting to help protect their clothing.
Will my child bring home a project every week?
It depends. Some projects require longer dry time, multi-step process or simply more time to create, especially when children are learning a new technique or planning for an upcoming show.
What will they learn in art class?
We believe strongly in giving children a great foundation in art. They will learn the proper name and terminology for the parts of their brushes, techniques, tools, and materials. Our teacher's also incorporate age appropriate art history and information about famous artists and diverse cultural influences on art.
How many children are in the class?
We like to keep class size to no more than 12 children per adult. In addition to the Teacher, we use Ambassadors to help deliver the program to younger students to provide smaller group support and one on one attention when required.
