YOUR CHILD CAN DISCOVER THE MAGICAL WORLD OF ART!
Art Foundations
where young imaginations grow
My ART FOUNDATIONS PROGRAM offers a comprehensive and engaging approach to teaching children the fundamentals of art. Covering everything from drawing and watercolor to color theory and composition, this program aligns with National and Utah state standards, ensuring that young artists learn in a fun and accessible way while mastering essential artistic techniques.
FUN FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY
The whole family can join in—even Dad!
My interactive art classes are perfect for everyone, where families can dive into new techniques, share laughs, and create amazing art together! It's a fantastic way to bond, unleash your inner artist, and make lasting memories—no experience required.
PROFESSIONAL ART TEACHER
As a professional art teacher with over 14 years of classroom experience, I wholeheartedly believe that every child and adult can be an artist!
I am deeply passionate about the incredible benefits art offers a children's emotional and cognitive development. Each lesson is designed to engage students through real-time interaction, incorporating ART techniques that build emotional resilience and boost problem-solving skills by encouraging creative thinking.
Art isn’t just about creating—it’s about helping the student grow in confidence, navigate challenges, and express themselves in powerful ways!
MORE THAN JUST AN ART CLASS
Unlike traditional art programs, my classes seamlessly integrate elements of earth science and literature into the lesson structure. This approach enables students to make deeper connections with both subjects while honing their artistic skills.
