I believe these words to be true, and I try to live this every day at Blu Moon

Studio… both in doing my own creative work, and working with my art students

Many schools are cutting back on art programs, and it getting increasingly

difficult to get a good foundation in visual art . Many private art schools are

springing up, which offers young artists an  opportunity which might otherwise be lost

Blu Moon Studio offers classes in painting , drawing, and mixed media to students from age seven to adult.

Blu Moon Studio of Art’s owner and art instructor, Sheri Friedman , a professional artist, specializes

in Portfolio Preparation for Elementary and Middle School Art Magnet School auditions. She has a proven track

a proven record of success with a decade of experience. If you are looking for art classes in the Miami

area… look for Blu Moon! I will be offering a Summer Art Program… please stay tuned for details.

kids art classes at Blu Moon Studio of Art

Kids love art, and if they are encouraged , creating art can be a lifelong joy for them. All too often though , their natural creativity is squelched before it can blossom and grow. Well meaning but untrained teachers, critical comments and  an unavailability of art resources often put an end to a child’s desire to explore their innate creative abilities, and this often unfortunately creates a lifelong belief that they lack creativity or “talent”. This is very sad and absolutely untrue ! Everyone is creative ,even if they do not express it in drawing or painting . I firmly believe that creativity is a gift to be treasured and nurtured from the very youngest age, and throughout life. In my childrens art classes , I encourage creativity, and a sense of playfulness, while maintaining a gentle focus on building skills and craftsmanship. I work with a variety of materials and introduce kids to the basic elements of art, in order to build a strong foundation for the future, whether they pursue visual art or just appreciate it as a part of their lives. I encourage every parent to tend to their childs creative spirit … it is a beautiful and important part of them. I offer Mixed Media for Kids age 7-12 on Thursday from 4:30-6p.m. and on Saturday from 10:30 -12:00. All materials are included in the fee for a four week session.
