Creativity is a great way for kids to relax. Every month, kids will learn and explore a new type of art they can practice at home. Each month will focus on a new artist!

Art is a great way to regulate emotions and practice self care, especially for children, who are constantly growing and learning. This art program is designed to encourage creative discovery in elementary-aged kids. They can practice different types of art as a way to relax and calm their busy minds. Participants will try all kinds of art inspired by artists from around the world, with each month’s program drawing inspiration from a different artist around the world. What will you discover?


This month’s artist is: Henri Matisse. Learn more about them here and see some of their art!  


We will provide all the materials for this program. This program is funded by the Friends of the Library, Montgomery County.
