KidzArt Holiday Products!

Throughout the next few weeks many of our KidzArt students will be creating special holiday themed projects that will be photographed and uploaded into their private viewing gallery at: www.kidzartproducts.com. Parents will have the option of ordering a variety of fun products depicting their child's artwork!

KidzArt Products builds confidence in children as they see their own creations used every day by mom and dad, friends and relatives. It’s an amazing way to honor your child. And the best part is, each artist has his/her OWN art gallery of masterpieces.

These nutcracker drawings are from this week's Imagine class in Barberton. What great work from these young artists (ages 5-8!).










These are some favorites from last year:

Student Artist Profile: Carmen Rowe

Today we have a very special BIRTHDAY edition of the Student Artist Profile. Meet Miss Carmen Rowe who is turning 7 years old today! Carmen lives in Copley and is a 2nd grader at Fort Island Elementary School. Carmen has been taking KidzArt classes since March of 2009 and has also introduced a lot of her friends to our program! Carmen's artwork has impressed her KidzArt Instructors from the very beginning. She loves working with the Sculpey clay and the Prismacolor markers. Some of her favorite KidzArt projects have been: "Bunny on Chair" and also "Sun and Moon", both pictured below. Carmen would say her favorite artist is Georgia O'Keefe. In addition to art, she also enjoys playing softball, soccer and basketball, swimming and playing with her friends. We have really enjoyed having Carmen in our Community KidzArt class and would like to with her a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! :D

Student Artist Profile: Catie Votaw

This budding young artist is Catie Votaw from Norton. Catie is a Kindergartner and she attends our Imagine class at St. Paul's Memorial Church in Barberton. She has been attending KidzArt classes for about 3 months and her favorite project she's done so far is the Castle (you can see a picture of her Castle drawing below). Her favorite creative medium is modelling clay and below you can also see a picture of her underwater sculpey scene. Catie's favorite artist is Eric Carle. In addition to art, Catie enjoys reading, playing and eating. Scroll down for some pictures of Catie's recent work! We are excited to see more of Catie's creative artwork in the future!

Art & Drama Camp!

We all had such a great time last week during our Art & Drama Camp! The kids did such a wonderful job on both their artwork and also their drama performance.

Trinity Mural: A Work in Progress!

On Monday, August 9th we began our work on the mural at Trinity United Church in Akron with some teens from a local shelter. They are great helpers! The mural was designed based on the children's book "I Like the Music" by Leah Komaiko. Here are some pictures from the evening:
