Art is all around us on the Featherstone campus. Join us as we investigate our campus and learn elements of art and mix media during our art afternoon explorations designed just for the preschooler. A wide range of art experiences  will be offered where students will utilize different materials and techniques, all designed to build confidence and experiment with creativity, while also enriching basic fine motor skill development. Our ideas will develop as the seasons change. “Anything can happen, and that’s the beauty of art.”
