Unleash your child's inner comic with Young Rembrandts’ cartoon drawing classes! Watch them master the art of exaggeration and facial expressions in our "Cold Faces" and "Dad Expressions" lessons. They’ll also bring to life cuddly polar bears and craft hilarious stories through sequential art, like our silly shaving series. It’s a fantastic way to nurture their creativity and storytelling skills. Get ready for loads of drawing fun!

At this crafty class, your child will make their own large (16x20) canvas. We'll put on an apron and goggles and listen to fun music while we splatter the canvas full of paint, glitter, and confetti. There will be special lighting effects in the paint room for a completely immersive experience. Dress for a mess!

NEW! In this paint-at-home activity, participants will paint an artist-created image of their own pet! Participants will submit a photo of a beloved pet and the Gray Duck artists will get to work creating your one-of-a-kind pet paint-by-number. This piece will then be sent with all supplies needed to complete your piece on your own time. Specific instructions and email address to submit image will be provided after registration is completed. NOTE: There is an additional $25 fee to include a second pet in the same painting. Visit our photo example page, https://grayduckart.com/photoexamples, before emailing to ensure your photos will make a great painting.

It’s springtime and that can only mean one thing: SPRINGTIME FUN WITH YOUNG REMBRANDTS! If your child enjoys the outdoors, they will love the upcoming Hummingbird lesson filled with color and whimsy.
