Little Artists Preschool

Multnomah Arts Center proudly announces the launch of our arts-based educational preschool—Little Artists Preschool. A center for high-quality, arts-focused early childhood education for ages 2, 3 and 4, our school provides guided instruction in the use of art materials and techniques in visual arts, dance, music and theatre. Little Artists Preschool is a nurturing environment that encourages each child’s individual style of creative expression. We strongly believe that arts education is fundamental to the development of a healthy, happy and engaged mind.

Portland Parks & Recreation Parent & Toddler Art Classes These classes offer a process-oriented art experience. While providing instruction in the use of art materials and techniques, our teachers guide students through the creative process in an effort to elicit and encourage each child’s individual style of visual expression. Rather than simply following directions to construct prescribed art “products,” children in our classes learn to trust their own creative impulses while being supported by their parent or guardian. We recommend both adult and child wear grubbies as these classes can be messy. All materials are included. Cleanup is part of visual arts classes. Once classes are full, we cannot accept extra students.

Art Adventures

Art Adventures continued…

Fascinated by shiny, sticky and gooey stuff? The joy of creative thinking and self-expression are brought to life using media such as paint, clay, collage and sculpture. Together construct projects that develop fine motor skills and enhance creative development.

Confession with Benefits I thought to dream you a paradise, ensuring your rapture and your clinging of me. Weeks I shut out all else but the parade of other worlds, where you would wave a little flag and sit down freely in any proud seat. I distressed this gift, my sweet, what would suit? Each oasis I built I soon blew away— no lake there, but a kiddie pool where small dogs went to drown and nightfolk scavenged our garden bare. Flat, this prayer I had prayed for you. Dogged from my overreaching dreams, I opened my eyes to everything.
