Art should be an important part of an individuals education pursuits. Many great historical figures understood the importance of Art. Leonardo Da Vinci, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson & Benjamin Franklin all kept art journals in conjunction with written journals.

Appreciation of the arts begins at home. There are many things you can do with children in you own home that will develop an appreciation of their own creativity as well as that of others.

Imagination

Ingenuity

Art is wonderful for developing fine motor skills, self discipline, and we can all see the progress and development.

If a picture is worth a thousand words, than kids who are learning to draw and paint are learning a new language!

                          

Art classes held every Tuesday & Thursday

                   

 

 

My goal for the kids is to have access to a lot of different art materials. By painting, drawing, making crafts and sculpting, my intention is for them to build a relationship with these materials and provide a space where they are encouraged to use their imaginations to create. I will be giving them basic technique skills and guidelines as needed. As your children become more and more comfortable with these materials I hope to inspire and cultivate their imaginations and spirit.
