Young Rembrandts: The Power of Drawing
At Young Rembrandts we teach drawing, the fundamental skill of all
visual arts. We believe that drawing is a skill that can – and should – be
learned by all children. While Young Rembrandts classes are structured
and educational, children learn best when they are entertained and
engaged. Young Rembrandts combines the best of both worlds – foundational
art skills in a fun, nurturing environment – that gives your child the
academic advantage. New class material each week and each session. All
classes will be held at the Stoughton Youth Center. For more information
