CAP Art Explorers at Eagle’s View Academy
Led by Ashlee Collins
In-Person
Students must be enrolled at Eagle’s View Academy to register for this course.
Get ready to create, explore, and make amazing art! CAP Art Explorers is designed especially for young artists who love to get their hands messy and try new things. In this exciting Cathedral Arts Project program, your child will dive into the colorful worlds of painting, sculpture, fabric arts, and so much more through hands-on projects and creative discovery.
Our experienced Teaching Artist Fellow will guide your young artist as they learn fundamental skills, experiment with different materials, and build confidence with every brushstroke. Through fun projects, imaginative creations, and joyful art-making, students will discover their unique artistic voice while developing fine motor skills, creativity, and self-expression.
The magic reaches its peak when your child’s artwork is displayed at a professional gallery during CAP’s annual Visual Arts Showcase in May 2026! Your young artist will see their creations beautifully exhibited alongside student work from across Northeast Florida, celebrating their artistic growth and creativity.
This year-long adventure follows your school’s schedule for holidays and closures and runs for 24 weeks to ensure your child creates a full portfolio of amazing artwork.
Sign up now and watch your little one discover the magic of art!
In-person courses will follow the school’s schedule for holidays and school closures.
