CREATIVE ART CLASSES OFFERED BY PEKIN PARK DISTRICT

-
Everyone has an imagination.  Art helps develop it.  Art takes what was just a thought and makes it a reality.  Creating art is a way for children to learn how to make choices and solve problems by taking them through a step by step process. The end result is an object they created. Local artist Courtney Carmain will be teaching classes to help children find an expressive outlet through art and to help     them develop hidden talents.  Masterpiece Mondays are two 6-week sessions with each class building on each other until at the end  of the program children have a compilation of art pieces.
