About
Our Creative Expressions art program is a vibrant, hands-on art experience for kids in grades 3-6 that encourages creativity and connection. Each week, participants dive into a new art technique while developing essential social skills in a fun, supportive environment. Our experienced staff are skilled in working with youth with ADHD and learning disabilities, ensuring that every project is accessible, engaging, and designed to build both confidence and community.
With activities like clay sculpting, canvas painting, and even shaving cream marble art, kids explore different mediums and methods, learning art concepts along the way. Every project is also paired with a social skill, from understanding emotions to group cooperation, helping kids grow in more ways than one.
Weekly Breakdown of Activities
Programs are tailored to the interests and preferances of the participants, so no two Creative Expressions sessions are ever the same. However, most follow a structure similar to the following:
- Week 1: Shaving Cream Marble Art and Zones of Regulation
- Week 2: Clay Sculptures and Being Part of a Group
- Week 3: Canvas Painting and Language Interpretation
- Week 4: Picasso Portraits and Perspective Taking
Intake Criteria
Children and youth in grades 3 - 12 can attend Amicus Recreation programs if they meet our Intake Criteria. If your child has not participated in an Amicus or social skills program through Foothills Academy before, the first step is to complete the Intake process prior to registration taking place.
