Growing Artists
philosophy is about the process of art: babies
and tots “doing art.” During the process, they
will discover their own independence, as well as
the mystery of combinations, the joy of
exploration, the delight of creating and the
frustration of challenges- all important pieces
in the puzzle of learning.
Papoose welcomes our new Growing Artist
instructor: Christine Barker. Christine has
four children who range in age from 3 to 11.
She has a Bachelor of Fine Art degree and
