Frequently Asked Questions
What are the benefits of enrolling my children in art class?
At Hearts and Crafts Studio we understand the value of engagement in the arts beginning at an early age. In exploring the creative process, your child will strengthen cognitive aptitude by increasing their communication and problem solving skills. Art making will also promote imagination, creativity and inventiveness in your child while building confidence, competence and self-esteem. Through our various art and design classes your child will create original and expressive works of art and memories for years to come.
Does my child need to have any prior knowledge or experience in order to be successful in art class?
Our studio welcomes all children to our classes, no matter the degree of their prior art experience, knowledge or ability. Each of our studio classes are designed to teach your child art/design techniques and processes in a logical progression. Each lesson builds upon knowledge from previous sessions to create a natural progression of understanding and skill. For our more experienced students we challenge them with more advanced exercises designed to expand their repertoire of artistic skills.
What skills can my child acquire through art making that will help ensure greater success in their future?
At Hearts and Crafts Studio we believe in the essential role art plays in preparing children for success in their future. Through our various art and design classes your child will:
• Develop positive self-esteem, and increased attention to task
• Improve communication, problem solving, and socialization skills
• Increase self-expression, creativity, imagination, and inventiveness
• Improve hand-eye coordination, object manipulation and hand strength
How can I register my child for class or workshops at the Children’s Art Studio Inc.?
It’s as easy as one, two, three to register a child in any of our extraordinary art/design classes. Parents and/or Guardians must register their child in advance by calling the studio and asking to speak to Sabrina about available space. Once registered or confirmed please review the policy information located on our website. On the first day of your first class you can complete the policy and registration forms in person and ensure all fees are paid via e-transfer when you drop your child off at the studio.
How should my child come prepared for class? Do I need to provide a snack?
Children should arrive to the studio “dressed for mess.” Although our studio does provide aprons we recommend that children wear comfortable clothing appropriate for mess, because students will be working with various materials that may permanently stain clothing including paint and ink. Please pack a healthy and fulfilling snackas well water or a drink if you feel your child may need it. We provide each child a fun peanut free treat when they are done class, just because. Due to allergies, all snacks must be nut-free. Please inform us if your child has a food allergy at the time of registration.
We hope these answers helped!
