Calling all artists! This after-school art class will not only provide an incredible outlet for self-expression but also help students to develop motor skills, visual-spatial skills, and problem-solving skills. Each week a different artist will be featured to inspire students to create their own unique piece of art. This class can get messy, so please wear old clothing or bring an apron/smock. For grades K – 3rd

Carole Pearlman’s lifelong fascination with creativity began as a child, in a neighborhood art class, where making art in the backyard was the only agenda for an entire summer. Many art classes later Carole completed a BFA in painting, a MEd in Educational Therapy, and an MA in Developmental Psychology. Integrating the disciplines of art, education, and psychology Carole developed The Joy of Creativity Art program. Carole works as a facilitator of creativity with students ages 4 to 84! Through her teaching, research, and daily practice, she believes that being creative is an essential part of a balanced life. Carole is a professional artist and certified teacher.
