The Holualoa Foundation for Arts and Culture is pleased to offer Art Education for Children and Youth; these courses designed to help children and youth use art as a tool for: discovering one's self and finding meaning in life, understanding relationships with others, solving problems using critical thinking skills.
We believe that through experiences in art making, children will develop their self-concept and become motivated individuals who understand the importance of planning and working for a positive future for themselves and their communities.
Creative Outlet is a 12 week after-school program that explores a full array of artistic disciplines to stimulate, develop and engage the imagination of young artists. Children explore meaningful ideas and processes that lead toward authentic work in a variety of media such as clay, collage, printmaking,
painting and drawing. Towards the end of the semester, students work on their communication skills by engaging in collaborative projects. Class size is limited, offering each child plenty of individual attention.
Children involved in previous after-school or in-school programs will have an opportunity to continue a higher level of exploration in art making as instructors create specific projects that challenge and support your child's area of interest.
