What to expect from a kids' art class

Kids' art classes in NYC run from process-focused toddler classes — paint, clay, collage, and no pressure about the result — to structured drawing, painting, ceramics and cartooning courses for school-age children. Sessions are usually 45 minutes to 90 minutes, materials are almost always included in the price, and the youngest classes expect a caregiver to stay. Many studios run by the term with a portfolio or a small show at the end; others sell single drop-in sessions, which is the easiest way to see whether a child enjoys a particular medium before committing.
