Customer Comments:
“I had so much fun in the class! We did projects I’ve never done and learned how to work with different elements. The teacher is so easy to talk to and great at teaching.”
Kendra Woodruff age 16
“I am so happy, Tina. I spoke with their mom yesterday and the kids LOVED the class!!”
Megan Contreras, YAP Westfield
“I loved the inclusion of advanced art vocabulary and concepts surrounding color and design theories. This class has not only reinforced concepts I have been teaching my children, but has given them language to discuss and critique art (their own and others). The class was affordable and a good length for us. ‘Miss Tina’ is friendly, patient, and encouraging.”
Homeschool Parent
“My girls love having Tina for art. All the classes they have taken with her have helped them grow in their art knowledge and skill. As a mom who values the arts, I appreciate that my kids have the opportunity to be taught by someone with such a depth of knowledge and teaching experience.”

Thank you for providing all the art materials and still keeping the cost very affordable.”
