Elementary Program, ages 6 to 12

The Power of Drawing™!

Young Rembrandts is the art program with a difference. In the same way you teach math, science and reading, we teach core drawing skills. Our program dispels the myth that art is a talent a child has or doesn't have. We view drawing - the fundamental skills of all visual arts - as a teachable skill that any child can and should learn.

Our elementary-age curriculum is designed to teach basic to advanced drawing skills, art techniques and vocabulary. Young Rembrandts offers drawing classes for children ages 6 to 12.

As students are introduced to a new subject matter each week, they learn a variety of art concepts including:

  • Portraiture
  • Perspective
  • Still life
  • Realism/Abstract
  • Color theory
  • Fundamental composition skills
  • Line and patterning
  • Art vocabulary
  • Art history

Participating in Young Rembrandts provides children with a comprehensive art literacy that serves them well not just at the drawing table, but in school and on into adulthood.

"People who engage in the arts on a weekly basis enjoy a stronger sense of community, feel better emotionally, and experience a higher quality of life than those who do not."
