Imagine small, fun classes of five students or less where kids work at their own pace on individual projects they choose according to their interests and abilities. Smaller classes mean personal relationships- mentoring by nationally recognized artists working and teaching professionally. Students experience excitement of seeing their instructor's commissioned projects in all stages of development as they work creating their own art. Our broad based instruction trains students to think like, act like and BE artists. It is process-oriented instruction that teaches kids to think creatively while working methodically for consistent results. Younger students are inspired as they work alongside older, more experienced students, while older students are encouraged in their efforts by nurturing their younger classmates. Children of all ages learn to express their ideas and feelings through their art and journaling, experiencing art that calms and heals, energizes and affirms. Art develops discipline and patience, eye-hand coordination and focus. Art stimulates personal awareness, self-worth, confidence, and develops communication skills. Art compliments and strengthens any endeavor your child may ultimately pursue, from medicine and the sciences to law and architecture. As they develop, the creative impulse will nourish all areas of their life with insights that inspire mental and spiritual growth. While studying technique stimulates individual character with discipline and hard work, the increase of knowledge and skill and the ability to see allows you as an artist to attempt increasingly difficult projects. Personal growth as a self-initiated process charges life with the excitement of accomplishment and feelings of and self-worth.
