Parents and children answered questions about art during the holiday season 2016-2017 to win prizes. Many times, parents stay in the dining room which has access to the studio during art classes at KBS. They learn about techniques and art vocabulary words right along with their children and have a social hour with other parents at the same time. The parents acquire art appreciation through this avenue.
