Youth Art Heading

Youth Art Classes — Ages 8-Teen

The method: With decades of teaching and curriculum design, my method of “cross-training the brain” develops both technical skills and creative thinking. We work on one major project per session in a logical progression–from preliminary exercises to the final composition. I’ve taught at every level–from elementary to university.

After-School Art Escape: Painting, Drawing, & Mixed Media

Location: Athena House, Carmel Fall ’24

I teach a new project in each session. Materials and techniques may include printmaking, oil pastels, painting, drawing, perspective, sewing, collage, pen & ink, figures, landscapes, and more.  A snack is provided, or you may bring your own.   For each additional child, there’s a 15% discount if paying by check.   You’ll get an email prior to class with details, parking, etc. The age range is a general guide because most of the projects can be adapted for various ages. Please contact me with questions or if your child is outside the age range. Each child works at their own level.
