Is your child budding with enthuasiam for creating arts and crafts? Let them embrace their creativity side with year-long youth art classes at Visual Arts Brampton Creative Studios.

Throughout the year, the essential concepts of art are introduced to students, through understandable terms and projects which apply their newfound knowledge practically and creatively. Students are introduced to diverse mediums within the realms of drawing, painting, printmaking, collage, sculpture, and crafts. Students engage their apt and burgeoning curiosities within these different worlds of creativity, injecting their own personal spark to the project.

Classes are led by two talented instructors, both of whom connect excellently with the students. They are Emily Kowalik and Paulina Su, two former longtime students of Visual Arts Brampton's art classes. Emily just graduated Mayfield School of the Arts, while Paulina has finished her first year of art studies at York University, and will be entering teacher's college this fall.

23-year-old community art group Visual Arts Brampton has offered youth classes since 1997; this age bracket is in its second year.

Classes run most Saturdays from January to mid-December, only taking selected civic holiday weekends off. In total, parents can expect at least 45 classes for the extremely reasonable price of $250 for the entire year, which includes most materials.* Each class is 1½ hours long, enough time to ensure they can comfortably complete the projects, without draining them of their vim and vigour.

Contact us for more information, or to register.

* In terms of materials, we ask students bring their own pencils and white rubber erasers.

Note that the 9:30 to 11:00 am Saturday classes are all now full.
