Expressive  Art Class (K-6)

Did you know expressive art can improve emotion regulation?

We discover how to turn thoughts, feelings, and imagination into meaningful works of art. Using a wide variety of materials and techniques, from paint and collage to clay and mixed media, we explore creative ways to express ourselves while building confidence, resilience, and problem-solving skills. There is no "right" or "wrong" here. Children can experiment, create freely, and learn that art is a powerful way to communicate, reflect, and grow.

Meet the Teacher

Hi! I'm Ms. Beth. I work as a professional artist and I've been teaching art for 19 years. Throughout my career, I've seen the transformative effect art can have on children. It's the one place they can make a mess, make mistakes, and create something great in the process. I see the pride and confidence it builds, the ideas it inspires, and the skills it develops. I’ve created fun art and STEAM classes that build skills like creative problem solving, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence to foster a love of learning and set students up for academic and personal success. I am an ESA vendor and have my fingerprint clearance card.
