Why a Private Art Instructor? Doesn’t my child receive art instruction at school?

Most elementary students receive art instruction for less than an hour, once a week from a teacher working with class sizes of 20 to 30 students. The amount of individualized attention you child receives in the visual arts is therefore very little.

Why is art so important?

Art teaches valuable lessons such as attention to detail and problem solving skills. Art is a subject in which there are many correct solutions to every problem. Students get to be creative and expressive in ways that other subjects don’t allow. Art is also a subject in which student’s success can really build their self-esteem and confidence. All of these reasons are important whether they ultimately go into an artistic field or not.

Are there group rates available if my child would like to take lessons with a friend or neighbor?

Yes, the size of the group dictates the rate.
