Creative Art

Set sail on a creative adventure with our 2025 Spring Art Class! This season’s theme, “Under the Sea,” invites students to explore the wonders of the ocean while building important skills and friendships along the way. Our classes provide a supportive environment for students with special needs to enhance fine motor skills through hands-on crafting. From painting delicate scales on a fish costume to cutting and assembling cardboard jellyfish, each project offers opportunities to practice precision and coordination. Equally important, students will engage in meaningful social interactions as they collaborate with peers and volunteers. Working together, they’ll share ideas, build confidence, and strengthen communication skills, all while having fun! The creative journey culminates in an exciting fashion performance, where students will proudly showcase their handmade ocean-themed costumes—whether it’s a playful whale, a shimmering jellyfish, or a colorful turtle—on stage for family and friends to enjoy. Join us for a season of art, growth, and connection, as we dive into the magic of the sea together!
