Young Rembrandts is an art enrichment program for children ages 3.5 to 12. We teach children how to draw using a process-based methodology centered on developing academic, conceptual, and critical thinking skills.
Experience the colorful magic of fall in the Young Rembrandts classroom. Kick off the season with an interesting Iguana, a video game favorite Pixel Block Character and the geometrical world of architecture as we draw the Notre Dame Cathedral.
Later, students will immerse themselves in the seasonal spirit as they learn still life technique of pumpkins, draw a detailed Scarecrow, and draw a silly but challenging Patterned Bat. We’ll draw these (and many more exciting lessons!) while we improve creative and critical thinking skills today’s students need.
All lessons are original - developed by a team of artists and educators. Our prescreened and highly trained instructors celebrate the positive in every child; reinforcing and educating good character, improved self-esteem and self-ability.
