2 hour: $225.00 per session (4-2 hour classes)
This class is geared towards the developing creative spirit and not only provides art education but a fun, nurturing and inspiring art studio experience. We'll cover the basics of drawing, acrylic and watercolor painting, printmaking, collage, and design. This class is offered for a 1 hour duration or a 2 hour extended class that includes half fine art developmental skills & half arts & crafts making.
Portfolio Prep: (Ages 9-15)
1 hour: $155.00 per session (4-1 hour classes)
2 hour: $225.00 per session (4-2 hour classes)
This class is for art students preparing a portfolio for Garrison, Savannah Arts Academy or any other art school. Beginning to develop artistic skills and create art work for a portfolio can't start soon enough. Developing a really skilled and diverse portfolio takes time. This class offers an atmosphere of fun developmental creativity, offering skill building with a focus on creating specific portfolio pieces as well as practice for observed drawing sessions.
Arts & Crafts Club! (Ages 5-15)
1 hour: $100.00 per session (4-1 hour classes)
2 hour: $175.00 per session (4-2 hour classes)
Arts & Crafts Club is geared towards the skills of making objects for decoration and practical use by hand like jewelry making, textile design, ceramics, weaving & more! It's often a great way to nurture the creative spirit of a young fine artist or foster those developing art skills. Arts & Crafts has numerous benefits, including stress reduction, boosts mood & creativity, fosters social interaction, & even improves physical skills like fine motor control.
Artistic Adventures (Ages 5-8)
1 hour: $100.00 per session (4-1 hour classes)
Artistic Adventures is all about encouraging and nurturing that young creative spirit! We experiment with all art media while learning about basic artistic skills, techniques and artists, all while having so much fun!!! I love to incorporate story telling and music into this class as well. This class is a great way to begin to develop artistic skills, build confidence & expose a young artist to a variety of media.
Art Therapy Enrichment (older adults w/cognitive decline/Dementia & Alzheimer's)
1 hour: $225.00 per session (4-1 hour classes)
I can come to you! It's often difficult for older adults to travel. Session's can take place at your home or my studio.
Art therapy enrichment provides a peaceful setting where older adults experiencing cognitive decline can explore and rediscover their creativity. This class is beneficial as it improves symptoms like anxiety, depression & apathy. It offers an outlet for expression when verbal communication is challenging, aids in stimulating cognitive function, dexterity & promoting a positive well-being. Each session is specifically catered to each individual.
