KidzArt: For Every Stage
of Artistic Development

Students of all ages are introduced to the delightful world of creative arts at KidzArt. Ideally those who start with KidzArt in preschool, will ‘graduate’ to our grade school and high school programs. Our curriculum is evolving and never repeated, with dynamic classes that grow with our students year after year. Each of our fun and exciting programs meets or exceeds the National Standards for Arts Education.

KidzArt offers the following one-hour after-school classes at over 60 schools in the greater Sacramento area.  For more information or to register, please visit our classes page.

KidzArt: CONNECT!		KidzArt: IMAGINE!		KidzArt: EXPLORE!
Our kindergarten students take their drawing skills to a new personal level. Through individual guidance and encouragement, they learn how to use the ‘language’ of art to express their thoughts and ideas more clearly. Confidence continues to grow as they experiment with colors and shapes using 2- and 3-dimensional media.		Classes are full of eye-opening surprises as students interpret shapes, colors, and proportion. Soon they are reading between the lines and drawing their own conclusions. They begin to express their ideas freely and to overcome the impulse to judge. Mistakes are minimized with the know-how to find solutions. The critical first steps toward developing a personal style start here.		Our students embark on a virtual journey to explore the many elements of the visual arts. During their travels, students are exposed to a variety of artistic styles, cultural interpretations, and mediums. The elements of brainstorming and more complex forms of problem solving are introduced through interactive format. Students begin to talk enthusiastically about possibilities. They become more confident in their attempts at self expression. Their destination of their own personal style gets closer.

Discovering the pure joy and absolute excitement of creating original art — with the bonus of having Mommy or Daddy* right there — is what KidzArt: SQUIGGLES TO GRINS is all about!

Two and three year olds are introduced to the lines and shapes that make up the ‘language’ of art. This is achieved through creative activities designed to enhance their motor skills, and complemented with inspiring storytelling, poetry, and sing-alongs created by Parents’ Choice Award winning KidzArt® singer/songwriters. At this age level they find great delight in exploring this new language by using washable paints and other non-toxic art materials to create recognizable forms. Their artful squiggles are soon followed by proud grins!

SQUIGGLES TO GRINS is a program where budding young artists interact with kids their own age in a fun and nurturing environment. In this non-threatening setting they begin to grow emotionally while developing their language and community skills. Parents, too have an opportunity to socialize with the other parents. It’s hard to tell who is having more fun!

Learning about art and how to draw is like learning a new language with our Preschool Classes!

The ‘language’ of art begins with the recognition of lines and shapes. We show preschoolers how these lines and shapes can fit together to create a complete whole. Then we introduce them to the tools to do it for themselves. Much of DISCOVER! centers around teaching our preschoolers to slow down, to focus, and to see — perhaps for the first time — how the world around them is put together.

They learn how they can create recognizable forms from the ‘language’ of art they are learning. DISCOVER! offers our students praise, support and direction, while we ask for their attention and willingness to perform their personal best. When it all comes together — and it does — the rewards are endless.

“Providing a quality art program was important for our Summer Day Camp. We found that KidzArt was the perfect solution…they designed their art lessons each week around our weekly themes and really taught our participants that they could all be little artists. Not only did the kids look forward to their KidzArt Day, so did the staff and parents!

“Having KidzArt in our Summer Day Camp was a great decision. We loved to be able to provide our participants this great art program, as well as have something in our camp that the competition did not provide. KidzArt was a great addition to KydZonE eXtreme Summer Day Camp.”

— Whitney Ewing
Program Director, El Dorado Hills Community Services District

Until now, art and other enrichment programs haven’t been part of the curriculum in the local Oak Park schools.  The formation of the pARTners in Education program by KidzArt is changing that. 

An alliance between KidzArt Sacramento and Oak Ridge Elementary began in 2006 with the intention of bringing art to Oak Ridge students. pARTners in Education was created as a way to develop relationships with local businesses in an effort to privately fund art classes for disadvantaged students. 

Through this program we are able to bring art enrichment to the Oak Ridge Elementary students to connect with them and offer a valuable form of expression.  With nearly all of the families at this school near or below the poverty line, there would little opportunity for these kids to experience this type of program otherwise.

For the 2006-07 school year, pARTners in education was funded by the Rotary Club of Sacramento.

For further information on pARTners in Education and KidzArt, contact Paige Schulte at (916) 574-9700.

Summer camps and workshops give your child the opportunity to really get into their artwork.  These programs usually last 3-5 hours per day and typically have a theme.  With longer blocks of time and more mediums and projects your child will take their art to a whole new level.  Friends and family of our campers are invited to attend the art gallery at the end of camp.  The gallery is a great way for all of our aspiring artists to display their work.

For more details about upcoming camps, dates and locations please visit our classes/camps page.
