I Heart Art

I first fell in love with art when I was about seven. My dad brought me a T-Shirt back from New York with a picture of Van Gogh's Starry Night on it, and I was hooked. As a child I was mesmerized by Van Gogh's colors and brushstrokes. As I grew older my love grew and grew.

Now I'm a mom with an almost seven year old of my own, and I find myself wanting him to love art too. I'm also a mom who finds herself dreading the summer heat and what to do with my seven year old all summer. Then my sister came up with a brilliant idea, an art class.

This summer I'll be introducing my seven-year-old, E, to fine art, and you can join us! Every Tuesday we will explore a different artist. We will look at a couple of different examples of their work and create a project based on what we've learned. This class will be held at my home for ages 6-9. I will provide materials and smocks. Each class will cost $7, and I'll be offering a sibling discount of $5. Classes begin June 7th and will be every Tuesday at 10 a.m. during the month of June. If there is interest, we may do classes in the month of July as well!
