A limited number of spaces are still available for children’s winter and spring art classes at the Las Cruces Museum of Art.

Ceramics develop a young artist’s eye-hand coordination and fine motor skills as they learn to manipulate clay. Students will make coils and slabs to create dishware, teapots, sculptured animals, masks and anything else a young mind can imagine. Classes available for ages 6-8, 9- 12, and Preschool Play ‘n Clay for ages 4-5.

Art-o-Rific Mix-o-Rama, for ages 6-8, is a mixed media art exploration of drawing, painting and block printing with a contemporary view. Projects will be inspired by important painters including Picasso, Kandinsky, Pollack, etc.

The Las Cruces Museum of Art is located at 491 N. Main St. in the downtown mall. For more information, call 575-541-2137.
