Check out the fall art youth art classes offered at Savannah’s Telfair Museums. We are particularly excited about the Sketch-Booking for the family class on Saturdays. We always hear from work-outside-the-home moms begging for more Saturday parent-and-me classes. This Sketch-Booking one is perfect. What a great way to get kids to become more conscious and observant of their surroundings. And after taking the class together, going on sketching outings around Savannah will be an inexpensive and fun adventure families can do together. Details below.
