Creative Confidence Starts Here

 At Erin Leigh Studios, our kids art programs invite young artists to explore, experiment, and express themselves through thoughtful, process-based artmaking. Each program is designed to build skills, confidence, and a lifelong love of creativity — all in a supportive, inspiring studio environment.

WHAT MAKES OUR CLASSES DIFFERENT

ART CLASSES THAT GO BEYOND THE PROJECT


Our kids art programs focus on creative thinking, artistic exploration, and personal expression — not copying a single finished image.


Students are encouraged to:

  • Experiment with materials 
  • Learn foundational techniques 
  • Develop their own artistic voice 
  • Feel proud of the work they create 

Each class balances skill-building and freedom, allowing kids to grow artistically while having fun.

HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

HOW OUR PROGRAMS ARE STRUCTURED

 

  • Programs typically run in 6-week sessions 
  • Classes meet once per week 
  • Each session explores a specific artistic theme 
  • All materials are provided 
  • Suitable for a range of skill levels
     

Themes rotate throughout the year, allowing returning students to continue building skills while experiencing something new each session.

CURRENT & ROTATING 6-WEEK THEMES

Examples of current and upcoming themes include:


Art Inspired by the Masters
Students explore famous artists and movements, learning techniques and styles while creating original works inspired by art history.


Under the Sea
A playful, imaginative series inspired by ocean life, movement, and color — incorporating drawing, painting, and mixed media.


Cultural Art Explorations
Students learn about artistic traditions from around the world and create pieces inspired by global art forms. (Offered as one of our rotating units.)


Additional themes are added throughout the year, ensuring every session feels fresh and engaging.

WHAT KIDS LEARN

WHAT STUDENTS GAIN FROM THESE PROGRAMS

 

Beyond learning how to paint or draw, students develop:

  • Creative problem-solving skills
  • Confidence in self-expression 
  • Fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination 
  • An understanding of artistic techniques and materials 
  • Pride in their creative accomplishments
     

Most importantly, students learn that art is about exploration — not perfection.
