What began as one, after-school art class taught from my home studio has grown into a thriving creative community for children, their parents and teachers. artKids developed out of my passion for the creative process and how best to reclaim it in adults and nurture it in young children.
artKids after-school art and drawing workshops focus on building children’s drawing and observational skills – the fundamentals of all art-making – in a fun, supportive, confidence-building environment. Using the elements of art and principles of design, children are taken on a journey of art-making, exploring different mediums through the lives and works of famous and contemporary artists, while encouraging individual artistic choices. artKids teaches children there are no mistakes or flops in art, only ‘flopportunities’! By adding, deleting or re-imagining their art, children learn how to solve problems using creative-thinking skills, much sought-after in today’s workplace.
artKids is a small business, sharing our small-but-dedicated team’s love of art-making with your children.
