Art classes for children ages 22 months to 10 years old Our focus is on a process-oriented art experience.

While providing instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, our teachers guide students through the creative process in an effort to elicit and support each child's individual style of visual expression. Rather than simply following directions to construct prescribed art "products," children in our classes learn to trust their own creative impulses. We offer a full range of classes in our Fort Mason studio, for children ages 22 months to 10 years of age. We also offer school-day and after school artist residencies, bringing art to students throughout San Francisco.
