GRADES: PreK-1st

STARTS: Feb 4th - May 6th

(RESTARTS IN SEPTEMENT 2025)

*May 10th Showcase Event

TIMES: 3:15-5:00 p.m.

These classes teach about Famous Artists and the Basic Elements of Art all while connecting to the Great Artist with a short interactive ten minute Bible Story as they complete an art project. We hope to be a blessing in the community for families that are not able to afford art classes, bless local parents who need quality after school kid programs, and create safe spaces for students and parents to ASK QUESTIONS about faith, regardless of their beliefs and background. These programs are geared for those who have never stepped into creative spaces, so you don’t have to be an “artist” to participate. We will build some foundational tools for those who want to develop their child’s interest more intentionally later as they grow. We will explore watercolor, acrylic, pens, pencil, and oil pastel projects as your child grows in creativity, motor skill development, and self-discovery

3 Year Old- 1st Grade Specific: Young Ages will focus on the basic fine motor development skills for this age, learn the color wheel, and how to draw shapes. They will complete a project each class with step-by step instructions to follow, and be introduced to all of the art elements, famous artists, art vocabulary, and art mediums such as watercolor, oil pastels, acrylics, pencil, pens, and mixed media.

REGISTRATIONS: You must confirm your registered spot for each semester term. For September-December complete or renew your application in JUNE-JULY. For Feb-May complete or renew your application NOV-DEC.

COSTS: Heart Ink classes are donation based to remain FREE for the community. Although at times we might need to charge a small $5 fee to cover supplies depending on our funding for that year. If that is a problem for your family, you can fill out our Scholarship Application. Priority can be given to students from low income families, families where both parents work and after-school activities for their children are needed, and students needing support emotional self-regulation and mental health outlets such as the arts.
