4 Cats Art Academy
There are two things I’m not much good at: painting pictures and cleaning up after my kids have been painting pictures. However, I am good at googling, so I set out to find an art class for the children. They’ve been having a ball at the 4 Cats Arts Academy, which holds classes in Courtenay, Nanaimo, and several locations in Victoria. While having fun doing their own art, the kids are learning about different artists, different styles, and different media, all under the direction of someone who knows what they’re doing. And working with a wide variety of proper materials – canvasses, paints, brushes, etc. – is something we couldn’t afford to do at home. We’ve already hung up a couple of their works in the living room – people get a great kick out of Grace’s Andy Warhol-esque can of soup. I highly recommend looking into arts classes at your local community centre or places like 4 Cats.
