Messy Mixed Media is a facilitated, parent-and-child art class. We introduce different methods and materials each week in projects that encourage children to express themselves, to make independent choices and evaluations of their work, to develop fine motor skills in age-appropriate ways, and to approach their art-making with a sense of fun and appreciation.

Each 8-week session of Messy Mixed Media is different, but frequent activities include paper maiche; print-making; sculpting with recycled wood, cardboard, and clay; collaborative fort-making and robot-making; activities incorporating collage, paint, pastels, or charcoal; cumulative works; and projects inspired by great artists, like Pollock, Matisse, and Calder.

We often utilize recycled materials, and in doing so it's our goal to give children a beginning sense of earth-friendly art practices, and to have them begin to see the potential art in everyday objects.
