Red Kite Studio opened its doors in June 2008. We offer art instruction for children and adults. We have special "Mommy & Me" classes on weekday mornings to provide art exploration for children ages 2 - 4. Students discover their innate artistic talents through a variety of art media and projects. They are guided through the basic art elements of line, shape, color, texture and form in a fun, kid-friendly format. Red Kite Studio will emphasize the process of exploration and offer open-ended projects that captivate even the youngest of artists. Toddlers and their accompanying parent/care giver explore a variety of art media, including paint, chalk, markers, pastels, clay and mixed media construction.
