Encouraging Parent Led Education

Art for the Young (or Young at Art)

The goal of my classes is for the young artist or art-hesitant to learn impactful, yet simple steps to enhance and refine their art pieces.

Materials are included. We will be using professional colour pencils, graphite, soft and oil pastels, watercolour, and possibly acrylic paint. (I learned to spell colour from the cover of my very first paint box.) 

All lessons are designed to incorporate basics (shape, space, perspective, texture, colour theory,…) by doing projects they enjoy. They will learn by directive art (demonstrating steps and the why of it) and then experiencing it themselves.
Homework is minimal and fun!

Although this coming year we will still draw animals, flowers, etc…, we will also be learning to draw people. I am especially excited about it.

​This is a water colour painting with black colour pencil detail, by Chaeli, 14 yrs. old. Her younger sister’s favourite animal is a giraffe so we thought it would be fun.

This ferret was done by a teenage boy, year before last. It is done entirely with professional grade Prismacolor pencils. The students had all voted to do a black footed ferret. I am grateful for their idea for they all turned out great. The contrast is stunning.

​Izzy, 6 years old, painted this for Mother’s Day. Her older sister did one with a turquoise door. The initial “M" in the wrought iron railing is for Mom.

This is a student’s toucan from the teenage boys I had the previous year. They all turned out so wonderfully colourful!

Chloe’s bunny is adorable. She chose her favourite colours for the flowers and the bunny’s expression is delightful.

Amelia ,6, did this for her first lesson. There are so many tips to pick up, for any age, by doing a simple tulip.
The word epiphany originally meant to glimpse who God is, in His creation of the people and world around us. Whether the face of a child, the weathering of the aged, grapes on a vine, flowers on the sill, a lion facing the wind…, fine art should glorify God.

I have been teaching art to all ages for 29 years, working with home schools, private and public  schools, classes in my home studio, and the fun adventure of co-teaching writing and illustration camps. My credentials are: I enjoy art, love children, and delight in seeing their efforts bloom into a lifetime ability.
