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.

I have recently added a Mixed Media class for adults on Wednesdays from 12 -2. I love working in mixed media because it unleashes a spirit of playfulness and fun into my work. Somehow, when I work with mixed media, I don’t take myself or my work as seriously,and I find that I expand my creative boundaries further. This attitude is then more accessible when I am working only in a single medium, and allows me to “free up” beyond my habitual creative strictures and blockages. I highly recommend trying mixed media… it opens up a world of unlimited possibilities and creative expansion, and it is a LOT of fun!
