Last Saturday, I taught a Kidz Art class at Vision Gallery. I get the opportunity to this 2-3 times a year. Vision, through grants, provides these types of classes free to the community all year long. The classes are taught by professional artists and well organized and supplied. They do a fantastic job of administering them by bringing in artists from the community. Classes are usually between 15-20 kids each, parents always attend and stay for the full class. The kids have a great time and learn some new art techniques. Contact Vision Gallery for more information: 480.782.2695, or see their website:http://www.visiongallery.org/
We did a chunky book using two blocks of wood, different kinds of paper, glue stick and ribbons. I enjoy the challenge of coming up with projects that will be of intereest to various age groups, safe for all ages, and still teach a little bit about art or art methods.
They were a fantastic group of kids and thanks to Vision and all the parents for keeping this great arts opportunity out there in the community.
