How Art Classes for Kids Work
What Age Do Art Classes for Kids Start?
Formal art classes with an instructor typically start around school-age.
You can often find one-time classes throughout the community, but they’re more like activities that you facilitate for your child, and don’t involve learning techniques.
Sometimes the local library will have an art (or in the least, craft) activity. Grand Rapids Children’s Museum has had a lot of hands-on art opportunities as well.
Classes can be a one-time event, or span several weeks.
Do I Have to Purchase Supplies for Art Classes? Where can I buy Art Supplies in Grand Rapids?
Many studios provide the supplies for a specific class, and the cost is worked into the cost of the session.
However, art is something you can do anywhere and kids will want to practice at home. You can get kid-level quality art supplies at hobby stores around Grand Rapids, like Michaels.
And when they are ready to up their game, take them to Service Reproduction in downtown Grand Rapids. It’s where you get THE best art supplies in West Michigan.
