Hi, my name is Elizabeth. I am a certified school teacher, and I also have an art studio. When I first started teaching, I did not teach art. The art job just fell into my lap.
One day, the school principal said they needed an art teacher and asked me if I would be interested. Of course, my answer was YES! My dream job was to do art all day. What more could I ask for?
When I started teaching art, I was in a storage room area. There was no sink, no finished walls, just some tables and chairs. If you know anything about art teachers, we will make it work. It's not about where you are; it's about what you create.
To me, Art is about the joy it gives kids. When they finish a piece of art they have been working on and see how happy they are about it, it brings me so much joy.
Art is such an important tool for them because it is a way that they can express themselves. It's a time when they don't have to follow the rules. They can let their imagination run free.
Kids will put a spin on a piece of art that maybe you or I would have never thought of. That is why I think every child needs art in their life.
This is when I realized that homeschooled needed art lessons too, so I started providing lessons for them at my art studio. The parents were so excited to bring their children there, but I began to notice a problem. No matter what day or time I scheduled the lessons, not everyone could make it.
I started thinking what if I could bring the lessons to them right into their homes? They could do it on their schedule, not mine. It doesn't matter if you have a specific space to do art. It's just about getting creative. There is more to teaching art than just drawing on a piece of paper. You need a lesson to go with it. You need an art project. This is how the "KIDS ART LOFT" came to be.
I know what kids like because I teach art at school and have an art studio where I host kids' parties and summer art camps.
You and your kids will not be disappointed.
When I am in a classroom and doing art with kids, I see the joy on their faces when they create a masterpiece all by themselves.
Sometimes, all kids need is a little instruction, and then you will see them soar in their creativity.
I will be teaching how to make beautiful and fun art projects.
I will also be teaching the different mediums you can use to make art.
Art is not just about drawing or painting. It's about using chalk pastels, or watercolors.
We will be painting using oil pastels, chalk pastels, watercolors and so much more.
