The recipe for a creative childhood lies in the simple habits of weekly and every day creativity.
Join our winter term of weekly after school art classes across four locations with ten different class options for children from junior infants up to 1st year. Our art classes offer relief from the stress of homework and busy routines. They are safe, fun spaces where your child can explore their creativity without a fear of failure or criticism. Let your child explore their imagination and dive into a world of creativity each week with different projects tailored to their age and ability. The craft corner classes aim to not only improve your child's artistic ability but also build their resilience, ability to problem solve, work as a team and increase their confidence. #artclasses #creativechildhood
Free form experimenting in art class with creative boundaries
The fastest way to know if something will work for you is to try it Our junior and senior infants artists spent some of their first art class with us on Monday experimenting with 3D building. Trying, testing, working it out as they go This for me is one of the best ways for this age group to learn. Then we guide them into 2D studies looking at these amazing creations and creating artworks from them #elementaryart #experiment #tryitout #thecraftcorner #recycledmaterials #artclass #afterachoolart #artwithkids #creativechildhood #creativekids #creativeworkshop #3Dart

Cave painting art class
Oue junior artists in Action doing their cave painting in week two of our summer term they were so excited to change location and loved the idea of drawing on the wall! We chatted lots about why cave paintings were made and how old they are and the different symbols that were used in them. We also made our own paint using soil which the kids really loved! #cavepainting #paintingonwalls #thecraftcorner #artclass #afterschoolart #artforkids

Group projects in art class making better artists
Paint experiments, hidden images, symbolism and art. 🎨 We dived right into this week with our group projects which is one of my favourite ways to start a term, getting out artists to collaborate and work together on their projects. 🖌️ This video shows some clips from our 5.40pm Straffan class which is for students in 2nd to 6th class. They really crushed it 😀👩🎨 artclass #abstractart #straffan #artwithkids #MakingArtWork #artmatters #thecraftcorner
