Wee Little Arts
Teaching the creative process to
young artists
Instructor: Marg Bucher
Ages: 4 – 5
A preschool visual arts program dedicated
to engaging and empowering children by
helping them to discover the creative process
based on four 8-week sessions: Elements of
Art, Drawing, Painting and Three Dimensions.
The same subjects are taught each year, but
with different projects, so a student is not
repeating projects, but learning is reinforced
and added to with each class. Fundamental
elements are introduced and the students
apply these elements to their work. A variety
of media are used to inspire experimentation.
Both traditional and contemporary artists’
work is shown to expose the students to old
and new ideas.
