Local nonprofit Drawing Together will launch its fall session of youth art classes beginning Thursday, Sept. 4, at the Wrightwood Community Building, 1275 Highway 2. The session runs through mid-December and includes a range of creative offerings designed for children and teens.
Each Thursday includes five age-specific programs that emphasize artistic skill-building, material exploration and creative play. Early childhood classes for ages 2 to 5 are held from 12:30 to 1:15 p.m., with a focus on gross motor development and hands-on art activities.
A visual art class for elementary students runs from 1:30 to 3 p.m., introducing students to contemporary artists while teaching the elements and principles of art and design. It also includes writing exercises and drawing games.
Teens can participate in a visual art class from 3 to 4 p.m. that emphasizes deeper material exploration and individual project development. During the same hour, elementary and middle school students may join a game design class where they’ll play classic and new games, and work toward creating their own by the end of the semester.
The afternoon concludes with a percussive music class for elementary-aged students from 4 to 4:50 p.m., offering a hands-on introduction to rhythm and musical expression. Please note this class ends earlier in the season, with its final session on Oct. 30.
Classes range in cost from $10 to $15 per session and are billed monthly. A 25% sibling discount is available, and some classes qualify for reduced pricing when taken in combination with another. Drawing Together is also a vendor for several charter homeschool networks. Financial support may be available upon request.
Full class descriptions, requirements and registration forms are available at drawingtogether.city/wrightwood-programs.
