MONTHLY CHILDREN’S ART PROJECTS
Join us for monthly children’s art projects here at the Hutchinson Art Center! Two groups will meet during a Saturday afternoon every month from September 2023 through May 2024. This is an opportunity for children aged 6 through 12 to create their own work of art! Students will be divided into two groups: Group A and Group B, with each group covering different skills. Each group art class costs $8 per child.
Local artist and educator Sara Huff has taught the monthly children’s art projects since February 2024. She has been involved in the arts in Hutchinson for over 20 years as an artist and educator and is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Education at Wichita State University. She is looking forward to teaching these classes and getting to know her students this year!

Parents can register their child by purchasing a spot using the button below. Hurry! Registration is limited to 15 students/group per month.
We will announce specific art projects and their theme on a monthly basis, so check back here regularly to see what projects will be available the month.
April’s theme is Dragons!
Saturday, April 27th
How to train your (hands to make) dragons! 🐲
Group A and Group B will both be designing a dragon eye on paper using colored pencils and complimentary colors. After the initial design on paper is complete children will get to recreate their dragon eye using Model Magic and metallic paint.
Children will learn different modeling techniques such as hand building, making slabs, coiling, pinching, and mark making with various tools to create textures and dragon scales all while we enjoy listening to the symphonic soundtrack from the movie How to Train Your Dragon!
Parents and guardians are encouraged to sign up their child for either Group A or Group B depending on skill level and interest. In general, the Group A project is simpler and aimed toward children aged 6-7, while the Group B project is a bit more complex and is aimed toward children aged 8-12.
**Group A will meet 1:00 to 2:30 PM and Group B will meet 3:00 to 4:30 PM on Saturday, February 24th.**
Information about April’s monthly art project will be shared here, so check back soon for updates!
