Young Rembrandts: The Power of Drawing

At Young Rembrandts we teach drawing, the fundamental skill of all visual arts. We believe that drawing is a skill that can - and should - be learned by all children. While Young Rembrandts classes are structured and educational, children learn best when they are entertained and engaged. Young Rembrandts combines the best of both worlds - foundational art skills in a fun, nurturing environment - that gives your child the academic advantage. New class material each week and each session. All classes will be held at the Stoughton Youth Center. For more information call James at: 608-444-3213 or visit us online: www.youngrembrandts.com Young Rembrandt Classes listed on page 13

Futsal

Preschool Art Pre-school children’s drawings are precious. Their simple images help them communicate.

But why stop there? Young Rembrandts classes give children the skills necessary to draw more complex images. We understand young children spend the first three years of life discovering the world. They gather, collect, examine and process more stimuli in the pre-school years than any other time in their development, preparing their brains for more advanced learning. At Young Rembrandts we have created a unique method of drawing that will maximize development, training in art and will prepare pre-schoolers as learners.
