In Children’s Art, our goal is to teach the elements of art and the principles of design, to introduce the children to artists and their work, and to show the students how art has changed through the ages, from the ancient world to today.

If you are home-schooling your children and would like to infuse some creative education into your curriculum, look no farther than the Plateau Creative Arts Center! Children’s Outreach art classes will be held at the Plateau Creative Arts Center every third Thursday throughout the school year, beginning on September 21 and ending on May 16, with class times starting at 12:30 p.m. and ending at 2:30 p.m. Children ages 6 through 12 are welcome to participate. Students will learn various principles of art and get to create artwork inspired by famous artists!

Please register for each class either by phone at 931-707-7249 or in person at the Arts Center, 451 Lakeview Drive in Fairfield Glade. Class size is limited to 20 students per session.

A few minutes prior to the class, caregivers are asked to arrive at the Arts Center, fill out a registration form, sign their children in, and indicate who will pick the children up (if it is someone other than the person registering them). During art instruction, caregivers are invited to enjoy the sculpture trail or run errands, grab a cup of coffee, and return by 2:30 to pick up their children and sign them out.

Classes are offered free-of-charge because of a generous grant from Volunteer Energy Cooperative (VEC). Rosemary Wawro, Susan Ward and Jane Harding coordinate the children’s outreach program, and many Art Guild members happily volunteer their time and talents to work with the students.

The Plateau Creative Arts Center/Art Guild at Fairfield Glade is a not-for-profit 501c (3), and an equal opportunity provider.
