Saturday  - KIDS CLASSES -10 am to 12 noon, 1pm to 3pm.  Ages (6-16) Kids Class Tuition: $120. for four up to two hour classes. 

KIDS CLASSES MATERIALS LIST: Drawing is the basis of all art!  A Sketchbook loose or hardbound, is all you need to start!  Some kids prefer sculpture, so white air dry clay obtained at Michaels is good.  We may add as we explore the needs and interest level of each child.  I have loads of markers and colored pencils, and some basic paints for color),  then if they want to learn to paint, we can move them up to the painting level in acrylics, watercolors or oils.  At that time you would invest in a few small canvases.
