Creativity and the Arts 

The Pearl School of Art is devoted to nurturing creativity and dedicated to fostering an appreciation of the arts. In the studio, students will have the opportunity to work through a series of activities and projects that meet specific art objectives. We have the ability to offer a more in depth teaching due to small class sizes and the interest in art by our students. Students will be able to enjoy the Pearl School of Art, whether you are a beginning student or a serious amateur, we invite you to enroll.  

When children get a chance to express their creativity and dive into art, they develop confidence, increase their empathy, and discover how to look at the world from different perspectives. All those skills help prepare students to take on the world with passion and creativity.
