ART STUDIO AT YOUR SCHOOL
Through the Arts In Focus program, Museum educators bring the arts into classrooms around the region. The goal of the program is to support educators so they are comfortable using a variety of art media to enrich the learning experiences of their students. These art programs are also designed to integrate classroom curriculum with a variety of art media.
All art programs are available in the Museum on Tuesdays or at your site Mondays and Wednesday – Friday. For ON-SITE (at the Museum) booking click here. For OFF-SITE (at your school) booking or questions call 503.471.9918 or email aif@portlandcm.org
Arts In Focus classes are available for children age 2 through 5th grade.
ARTS IN FOCUS STUDIO CLASSES
CLAY | $195 at your school
Don an apron and get up to your elbows in fun! Children create one-of-a-kind sculpted pieces while learning the basics of molding and building with clay.
PAINT | $195 at your school
Create a beautiful collection to document and display the process of learning through the arts. Children discover their creative potential by mixing colors, painting, line art, and exploring different surfaces with a variety of brush strokes.
PAPER | $195 at your school
Rip, roll, cut, crunch! Imagine illustrating a passage from a beloved book with only paper, scissors and glue. Three-dimensional sculptures, mosaics, and colorful collages are revealed as children develop math and structural skills.
DRAW | $195 at your school
Working with pen and paper, children learn to slow down and notice detail. Drawing from observation encourages fine motor-skills and confidence as children learn the elements of line through an exploration of drawing tools.
SCRAPS | $195 at your school
Transform trash into treasure by working with recycled materials in our Garage Studio. Children construct and deconstruct with recycled materials to build one-of-a-kind creations. Grades K-5 only.
