Thinking through Materials: Family Artmaking Workshop & Parent Conversation on Nurturing Children’s Creative Development

June 8 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm

San Francisco Children’s Art Center (SFCAC) is opening our art studio to SF Design Week participants with children ages 5-10 years old for a morning of creative fun and insightful conversation.

This family workshop will combine hands-on artmaking with conversations for the grown-ups on strategies to nurture your children’s creative development. Families will create together with a 3-D building activity that exemplifies SFCAC’s “Thinking through Materials” process-oriented methodology. As our teaching artists facilitate the engagement, we’ll share the ways our unique approach sparks ideation, fosters critical thinking, and enhances communication skills.

San Francisco Children’s Art Center is a non-profit organization founded in 1978 with the mission to empower children and nurture their sense of self through creative exploration. In our art studio and in schools across San Francisco, SFCAC serves more than 1200 students annually, supporting children as they develop language to share their ideas, learn to solve challenges, and connect with others through visual storytelling.

Schedule:

10 am: Coffee, juice, and light refreshments

10:15 am – 11:15 am: Facilitation of 3-D building engagement & conversations

11:15 am – 12 pm: SFCAC’s Painting Wall opens for children with continued parent Q&A

*Space is limited, please RSVP with the total number of family participants who will be attending.
