One of the greatest skills a person can have in life is to be creative! It is important to start creativity at a young age. I enjoy providing children with opportunities to be creative. Why is doing art their own way so important? The process of creativity is an amazing process to witness. I am providing children with an example of a piece of art to create, and the art supplies, teaching them how to draw, and offering help along the way if they ask or if they get stuck. I tutor their creativity through the whole process of how to prepare and organize and have an idea for the completion of the art project. Parents get a chance to be the audience and observe and if necessary, participate in any movement of the class.

At the end of the workshop, there will be a small kids party with food and drinks.
- Pizza Pepperoni or Cheese, or Hawaiian - a basket of fries, onion rings, sweet potato fries
- Drinks (Pop, water, iced tea)

What to wear? We will be working with paints - please make sure your child can stain clothes (Acrylic paints are washable)
