Young Rembrandts- Preschool Drawing (Ages 3-5)
Our drawing classes combine what children need to learn and practice with what they love to draw. Children will
enhance their fine motor skills, learn to stay on task, follow directions and learn skills that are critical in the class
room. If variety is the spice of life, our lesson lineup in February is the salt to your pepper. A drawing of a
mouthwatering pizza and the cutest duck this side of Swan Lake will bring out the artistic mastery in your
preschooler. There's no better way to warm up to the upcoming spring season than with our March lessons. The
warm colors in our parrot drawing and pirate ship lesson will have you setting sails for the Caribbean. The month of
April will roar with excitement as we draw a wonderful dinosaur. But it's not all about big, extinct lizards, your
student will take flight as they draw a colorful butterfly. The month of May will bloom with our flower drawings. How
about we hit the sky one more time? With our kite lesson, your student will be soaring toward new artistic heights.
