Here are five easy steps on deciding which art classes to enroll:

1.     Take a moment and brainstorm with your child on your likes and dislikes before choosing an art class. This is very important because if you or your child is not interested in a specific class then you will not be inspired to learn or attend the art classes.

2.     If you and your child are unsure go to your local museums and explore through the painting, sculpture and drawing. If you spot an art work you are interested and is unsure on which category it falls into seek assistance with the museum clerk.  You can search for your local museum in your area through the internet.

3.     Inquire with your friends or artist on fun art classes.  Let them know that you are taking your child to bond so they have a better idea on which art classes to recommend.  Another suggestion is skim through the collage catalog the classes they offer will have a short summary and description of the class.

4.     If you feel that painting and drawing is not a class you want. Research on pottery, collage, sculpture or beading art classes. These types of art classes can be messy if that is what you are looking for.
