REGIONAL PARTNER: ART CLASSES FOR KIDS

For over three decades, Kim Bavington and her dynamic team at ART CLASSES For Kids have been dedicated to bringing the world of Drawing, Painting, and Sculpting to children aged 3-15 in the vibrant Las Vegas community. Their commitment shines through Group Art Classes, Private Lessons, Art Parties, and Art Camps.

These innovative programs have not only inspired the young minds of Las Vegas but are now nurturing the creative talents of the next generation.

While Las Vegas locals can experience the magic of ART CLASSES For Kids through their reputable in-person classes, those of us from afar can join in on the artistic adventure through their virtual YouTube lessons from the comfort of our own homes. Kim’s YouTube channel is a treasure trove of artistic exploration, offering a diverse range of mediums, from pastels to drawing, watercolors to acrylic paints, and much more. Best of all, this wealth of content is entirely FREE on youtube, making it accessible for parents to enjoy with their children at home and for teachers to incorporate into their classrooms for enriching art lessons.

Kim and her dedicated team are driven by a profound passion for what they do. Their mission is simple yet powerful: to bring the joy of fine art to every child, anywhere. They firmly believe that if a child harbors an interest in art, they should have the opportunity to access the very best lessons available.

ART CLASSES FOR KIDS x BLACKWING FOUNDATION

The Blackwing Foundation, in collaboration with the artistic Kim Bavington from ART CLASSES for Kids, is proud to present an inspiring initiative: Pathways to Creativity: Art Series, tailored specifically for dedicated classroom teachers. These carefully crafted pathways cater to 3rd, 4th, and 5th-grade levels, each equipped with a convenient grab-and-go approach.

What Sets Pathways to Creativity: Art Series Apart?

  • Focused Mediums: Each pathway introduces students to a unique artistic medium—drawing, watercolors, and pastels—adding depth and variety to their creative exploration.
  • Supply Lists for Simplicity: With a set supply list for each pathway, teachers can seamlessly integrate art into their curriculum without the hassle of extensive preparation.
  • Vetted Video Content: The foundation has meticulously vetted all videos to ensure high-quality, engaging, and educational content, making it a reliable resource for classroom use.
  • Enhanced Classroom Experience: Beyond the videos, the foundation has gone the extra mile by creating supplementary content. These resources, tailored for teachers, elevate the classroom experience, providing additional materials to enrich students’ understanding of each artistic medium.

Our collective vision is to make art more accessible to classrooms nationwide. We believe that by offering grab-and-go pathways, complete with vetted videos and additional classroom resources, we empower teachers to seamlessly integrate art into their lesson plans. Our ultimate goal is to inspire creativity and artistic expression in every 3rd, 4th, and 5th grader, ensuring that all students have the opportunity to create cool art and unleash their imaginative potential.
