Creating lifelong artists by teaching realistic drawing and artistic methods using professional materials and then connecting, through an open art studio format, to the most powerful force on earth, a child’s imagination. We take 2D shapes to 3D shapes to personalized objects to gain fundamental skills + creative confidence.

Teaching centered around a custom-printed ArtCard written by Maureen. 15 minutes of technical drawing skills + 45 minute open art studio with high quality art supplies. We end with circle talk, where the children learn to talk about their artistic process.

Please note, our winter/spring curriculum furthers the skills learned in our fall curriculum - completely new material for students who were enrolled in the fall, while new students can jump in with our exploration of taking ovals to cylinders and triangles to pyramids!

Included in tuition:
- A take-home sketchbook
- Zippered canvas bag with a pencil, eraser, and Sharpie
- All classroom supplies (professional art materials)
- Weekly custom ArtCards

We create a universe of Yes with positivity and encouragement for our students. We foster any artistic path the children want to follow and they gain confidence, new skills, and a new understanding along the way.
