BOYS WITH AN ARTISTIC BENT. Boys have just as much of a "knack" for art as girls do! Art is for everyone!
Interests and styles may vary, but God, the Creator, created each one of us with the ability to create. Isn't it interesting to see so many different creative approaches to the same subject matter?
Participants in all of my art classes enjoy seeing each other's work. We can learn from each other, not just from the teacher. I love hearing students compliment each other on their work, or ask someone to show them "how did you do that?". . . .

CONCENTRATION GAME. Accurate, realistic drawing requires deep concentration. When pencil meets the paper, integrated learning skills are developed! Quality results are the payoff. I love to hear a child exclaim, "This is my best drawing ever"! At the same time, I enjoy watching a child struggle with his drawing because it indicates he's taking a risk, he's thinking and using both sides of his brain.

KINDERART CLASSES. Drawing and Watercolor Painting. At certain ages and stages children are drawn to animals. My set of wooden jungle animals from Africa make good models for drawing from life projects. Negative space is a concept which helps the student draw the trunk and the legs.Using the watercolor sketches found in the Country Diary of an Edwardian Lady is an excellent source of inspiration for landscapes captured with a Cotman pan set of watercolors. The #5 travel brush comes with the case and is easy to handle for a young painter.
