culinary arts
Young Audiences of Houston offers culinary arts for children, which provides a unique and exciting way to engage them in arts education. By introducing kids to the world of cooking and food preparation, culinary arts not only nurtures their creativity but also teaches them important skills such as problem-solving, teamwork, and attention to detail. Just like painting or playing a musical instrument, cooking is a form of artistic expression that allows children to explore their imagination and develop their sensory awareness. Culinary arts encourages an appreciation for different cultures and traditions, as children learn about diverse ingredients and cooking techniques from around the world. By integrating culinary arts into arts education, children have the opportunity to discover a new form of artistic expression that not only stimulates their creativity but also nurtures practical life skills that can benefit them in various aspects of their lives. This program is aligned with the Texas state curricula and offers curriculum ties, classroom activities and discussion ideas, extension activities, program goals, objectives, vocabulary words, and teacher resources. Culinary Art workshops require two hours (30m setup, 60m workshop, 30m takedown and cleanup) and include supplies and materials.​
