Classes for children

Art

BplusC courses

Kinderatelier (Children's Studio)

For	Children 7-12
When	Wednesday lunchtimes. See website for specific course dates and times
Course structure	12 lessons
Where	Richard Wagnerlaan 22, 2253 CE Voorschoten
Cost	€160 for 12 lessons including €15 materials
Website	www.BplusC.nl
They say	We make beautiful things with help from the teacher, using natural materials such as clay, wood and papier-maché, as well as drawing and painting.
Review	My son did this for the first time this past Spring and really enjoyed it. In fact, he enjoyed it so much he immediately wanted to be signed up for the Fall class! The instructor has a lot of experience teaching children and knows how to inspire and help direct their creativity. He does a good job of helping to introduce the kids to new techniques and materials (clay, wood, fabric, paint, crayon), while also letting them do what they want and work with what materials they want. This is not necessarily the class for children who want to learn the precise techniques of drawing or painting. It's a class for kids who know they like to create, like to explore different materials, and then want to get on with it with a bit of help from the instructor. Also nice is the fact that the kids get a 15 minute break to go play outside midway through each session. Jessica

Working with Clay for kids

For	Children 6 and up
When	Wednesday and Thursday afternoons from 15.00 lasting for 1.5 hours
Course struture	5 or 10 lessons (can be renewed after the lessons are over, so the classes are not limited to set starting and ending date)

Cost	€ 12,50 per child per lesson. (Price includes materials and a snack)
Contact	Odette Frijters Phone: 06-41505963
Website	www.atelierodette.com
They say	Children learn to make bowls, jewelry, vases, animals or other sorts of forms out of clay. Of course, what they make also depends on the age and skill level of the child. The goal is to let kids experience the joy of working with clay, give them experince with this wonderful material, and stimulate their imaginations and creativity. Alongside the "assignments" they are given to help them learn various techniques, they are always free to decide what they want to make on their own. They also get to decorate their creations using various glazes and paints.
Review	Our son has been doing lessons with Odette for almost a year now and loves it. Odette is great about teaching kids certain techniques, but also letting them just enjoy working with clay by coming up with their own (weird and wonderful) creations. She's an amazingly patient woman. She also does birthday parties for kids, too. Jessica

Drawing for kids

When	Thursday afternoons from 16.00-17.30
Course struture	26 lessons
Where	Pieterskerkgracht 91
Cost	€250 including materials and a drink
Website	www.arsaemula.nl
They say	Are you between 6 and 12 years old? Do you really like to draw and paint? Then you'll love this class! You'll get to learn all the tools of the trade. You can try different sorts of paints and crayons/pencils/charcoal, make your own paint to get just that color you want, and learn how to make a nice painting and/or drawing. We help you think about what you want to draw or paint, but if you already know, that's ok too. Wear clothes that can get dirty.
