Art Lab 4- Express is for 6th, 7th and 8th graders who still feel passionate about art and want to become more proficient in it as a means of expressing themselves and their understanding of the world around them. This age group is ready for refining their techniques, although they still need a healthy amount of "messing around" so they can feel confident as artists and get new ideas. Our instructors give them guidance on how to advance their techniques so that their skills continue to improve.  Socialization is highly encouraged and is great for creative kids who don't get to take art in school, and those who find making art a nice reprieve from the demands of middle school.
