Art land is a children’s art studio, created by someone who knows nothing about the history of art. My specialty is children and what they love to do, and how much they enjoy creating things themselves.
I do know how to create art projects, do crafts, and throughout the years I have taken numerous art classes to broaden my knowledge. I love to create things from nothing, and really enjoy watching children who inspire me, be inspired.
This art studio will offer season classes throughout the year, and camps during the off seasons. During the seasonal classes you will be able to register for a 12 week session of either a 45 min class or a 1 hour class. Depending on the age and skill level of the child enrolled.
Each season’s curriculum will be posted on our website, and if you see a class you would like to attend without signing up for the season, all classes have a drop in option.
We will also off a fun night of art drop in on Thurs and Fri evening from children ages 5+ to enjoy. Parents can drop their children off for 3 hours of an art filled education evening, while they go out for dinner or grocery shop etc.
The concept of this studio is to give children the freedom and supplies needed to create masterpieces. I have been inspired to manipulate the “art classes” known to most out there as an art history lesson with a bit of painting at the end…..into a whirlwind of paint and clay and fun all tied into an hour!
I believe most children are naturally delighted and excited by the discoveries they make about their world. The playful stance that children tend to take early on as youngsters is likely one of the reasons children seem propelled toward greater curiosity and novelty seeking. Art land encourages children’s freedom to discover!
Unquestionably a significant characteristic of child development is a child’s ability to be playful. No one knew this better than Dr. Seuss who said:
I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living; it’s a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope, which is what I do. And that enables you to laugh at life’s realities.”
Having a flexible approach to life allows you to be playful, also allowing you to have the ability to make an experience more joyful and entertaining. People who have children would understand that most inherently have this gift to make everything fun. Even something as simple as walking from the car to the front door could mean a chance to bounce, twist, flutter, and buzz all the way home.
Art Land is a place where all this creative curiosity will be unleashed by allowing children to try. Allowing children to fail. Allowing children to succeed.
Giving them freedom to create!
