Step-by-Step with Local Artists
Welcome to the Virtual Classroom! We are excited to offer these free learning opportunities to families.
We understand that everyone has different comfort levels with everything going on right now in this world of COVID, so we’ve created our very own Virtual Classroom for those of you who don’t feel comfortable coming back to in-person activities at EIAA. Browse through our classes and get creative from the comfort of your own home!
- To filter the list of classes, select Topics and Grade Level in combination.
- Some classes are a series, and some are one-and-done. When there is a series it is best to "take" these classes in order.
- Be sure to subscribe to our YouTube channel. You can choose to be alerted when new classes are posted so you don't miss out!
We hope you will share your projects with us so we can keep our connections strong! Share the classes with your friends, too!
