WINTER 2021

A new year full of community and growth!

MASTERWORKS KIDS’ FINE ART STUDIO is evolving to continue to fit the needs of talented youth in Marin County. For a variety of winter creative opportunities, we are safely doing in-studio classes, small POD group classes, virtual classes, art parties and art packs for home or travel.

With respect for concerns about the COVID-19 coronavirus, MASTERWORKS in-person classes adhere to the guidelines for cleanliness and distancing. Additionally, students wear masks and bring their own water bottles. When possible, classes can be held outside in front of the studio. Classes listed designate in-person classes, except when Virtual Class is stated.

MASTERWORKS is building online events, classes and take-home art packs to better serve the community during the COVID-19 pandemic and beyond. Previously geared towards children ages 6-15, we are broadening our scope to include anyone interested in creative art skills. Virtual activities provide opportunities for people to gather from around the globe to share an educationally fun and stimulating activity! Themed art packs (ages 4+) with instructions and all materials provide the projects to do at your leisure. The MASTERWORKS curriculum continues to emphasize hands-on projects inspired by art history, as well as cultural projects and fine art fundamentals.

Let MASTERWORKS creatively inspire you during this unusual time, while you’re staying safe and well. We look forward to seeing your faces however possible!

MASTERWORKS KIDS’ ART STUDIO

Since 1997, MASTERWORKS Kids’ Art Studio has been introducing the youth of Marin County, California to the magic of the creative process.

MASTERWORKS provides a hands-on study of the Masters. The MASTERWORKS curriculum blends classic art instruction (drawing, painting, color, design & perspective) with the historical and cultural perspective in which art is created. Projects link an in-depth study of a feature artist and his or her techniques with discussions of geography, culture and lifestyle.

MASTERWORKS is more than just an art class. It encourages focus, decision making, curiosity, concentration, pride, and creativity in each child. Class sizes are well managed to allow for individual attention to each child’s talents and questions. Because MASTERWORKS is an educationally-based art program, it can very easily be adapted to follow and enhance any established curriculum. Themed art camps at MASTERWORKS, encourage creativity while building fundamental art skills in children ages 6 to 14.
