What is Art in Motion?

First and most importantly, Art in Motion is fun!  We play, and play is truly the work of the young child.  The classes are led by live music, played mostly on guitar, and sometimes on the banjo or accordion.  The songs are lively, and are all interactive.  Parents and little ones are up and down jumping, hopping, dancing, freezing, talking, laughing, singing loudly, and singing low; there is always movement, always rhythm.  We finish each class with an open-ended, process oriented art project.  These projects are designed to inspire little minds and hands, giving children the opportunity to explore paint, glue, sand, play dough, water, color, light, texture...the joy is in the experimentation.
