Every Artist is Unique

Krafty Kids Art Classes

Session I - Class 2

Every Artist is Unique:

After viewing artwork containing trees and discussing how each was

different (color, shape, form, etc.), students drew their own pictures with at least one 

tree.  We cut them out and taped them to coordinating 12x12 scrapbook paper where we 

wrote "I am unique like my tree".  While all our works contained trees, no two were

alike.  We are all unique, and especially as artists get to show the world 

what we see through our creative expressions.

I'm so excited to announce that my studio will be opening next week with my first Krafty Kids Art Classes!  The finishing touches will be completed this week thanks to my wonderful kids and family who have helped me move furniture, paint, and basically put up with me through the whole process.  I will post pictures of the studio soon but for now my spring and summer classes are listed below.  Please let me know what you think.
