During ages 9-12, kids explore what hobbies and interests they want to pursue.  They also enjoy exploring different mediums and art styles, which is why I like to call their art stage, Explorers. Kids can explore who they are through art! Learning about what they love to create, building their art skills and about great artists are important.
