GRADES 1-4

This fall, we’re offering two creative art class options for young artists in grades 1–4! Whether your child loves diving deep into imaginative projects or prefers a flexible, drop-in experience, we’ve got something designed just for them. Choose Your Experience:

  • Drop-In Option (Monday) – Perfect for families needing flexibility. Drop-in artists will create a standalone project that connects with the overall theme.

  • Full Series(Tuesday) – Ideal for students who want to build skills and create something truly special over six weeks

Both class styles are welcoming, creative, and led by our experienced art educators. Whether your child comes every week or just once, they’ll leave feeling inspired, confident, and proud of what they’ve made.

This fall, middle school artists are invited to dive into two exciting creative journeys—designed to encourage originality, experimentation, and skill-building. Whether your artist thrives in a multi-week project or prefers to drop in for a single session, we have two flexible options to meet their needs. Choose Your Experience:

  • Drop-In Option (Monday) – Perfect for families needing flexibility. Drop-in artists will create a standalone project that connects with the overall theme.

  • Full Series(Wednesday) – Ideal for students who want to build skills and create something truly special over six weeks

    Both formats offer engaging, hands-on experiences led by our creative teaching team. Whether building a full story world or focusing on a single element, students will develop artistic confidence and a deeper understanding of design and narrative.

FAQ

  • At The Sheboygan Collective, we approach youth art a little differently—and intentionally so. Our classes are rooted in process-based art, which means we focus on creativity, exploration, and expression, rather than perfect end results.

    Here, young artists are encouraged to take creative risks, follow their own ideas, and make art that’s meaningful to them. There are no step-by-step instructions or pressure to recreate a sample—just a welcoming space where imagination leads the way.

    We believe art should be playful, open-ended, and joyful—because that’s where confidence grows, and where the most powerful learning happens.
