ArtStarts is pleased to announce 2 new art classes to be held on Saturday October 8th at 3:30 pm and Wednesday October 19th at 10:30 am at Telegraph Station in Alexandria, VA. Classes are lead by Nicole Holohan, an experienced art therapist, artist, and mother of 2 young children. The classes are designed for children ages 2-5 but may also be suitable for children up to age 7.

ArtStarts classes are developmentally appropriate, child centered, and fun. This month’s theme is “My Little Monster.” The art class will begin with stories and songs about monsters (the not-so-scary kind) after which children will create a wearable mask using paint and a variety of collage materials.

Parents are welcome to purchase items from Telegraph Station’s food and coffee menu to enjoy while their kids get creative. You may also want to stay after class for lunch or dinner.

Each class is approximately 45 minutes long and is $15 per child payable to Nicole Holohan via PayPal. To register for class, email Nicole at ArtStartsonthePike@gmail.com. Be sure to include your children’s ages and the class date for which you are registering.
