Arts Umbrella - Kenmore

Our Youth Arts Program was designed to give children the skills, encouragement and environment they need to explore and develop their natural creativity. Classes are taught by artists and fine art skills are emphasized. Although children are encouraged to use reference material to help them observe and understand their chosen subject matter, teachers strongly encourage work that reflects individuality and personal vision. Projects are chosen not only to refine each student's visual skills but to expose them to a wide variety of media (pencil, pastels, oil pastels, water color, scratchboard, sculpey, acrylic paint, etc.). Many of our students have been accepted at art colleges around the country
