Art Studio

Cut, Color, and Create

Explore, create and make a mess. This lively, open area inspires creativity and self-expression. Make a paper collage, paint, create with clay…there is always something fun to do.

The gallery supports children’s “outside of the box” thinking. Children learn that there are many ways to look at a problem and many ways to solve that problem. Valuing creativity and different perspectives is at the heart of Sensations.
