Our Approach

Moonrise art studio believes that there are endless learning opportunities when children are able to freely create and experiment. Our classes focus on the magic that occurs during the making, rather than the final outcome. With this approach children get to experiment with art materials, use their imagination, and make their own choices. Focusing on the process rather than the product fosters creativity and allows children to express themselves through their art!
