Looking for Exciting Kid Art Classes This Summer?

ART WITH THE ANIMALS

Every now and then I have offered art classes for kids. I'm teaming up with Reptacular Animals this summer for a truly unique art teaching experience -- they will bring a different exotic animal to class each week as the class models! If you're looking for kids art classes in Los Angeles, these will be fun ones to attend.

Instead of going to the zoo, a mini-zoo of kid-friendly animals will come to art class. The children get to handle the animals, and then make an art project based on them and their habitat. Doing something exciting like this is enough to get me out on a Saturday morning. This will be a very memorable art experience for creative kids. I'm having fun planning what we'll be doing. Drawing with a 10 foot python draped around the shoulders would be a totally different way to learn art!

Check out Reptacular's really neat website to see who will be coming to art class http://www.reptacularanimals.com/. They have over 150 animals from giant reptiles and creepy crawlies to furry pocket pets and colorful parrots.

This will be hands-on instruction in every sense of the word. We'll be drawing, painting, and making sculptures of the live animals. We'll look at animals in famous artworks.

Saturday classes run throughout the summer. Children may come to one or all sessions. An art camp will be offered during the last two weeks of August. Those are the hardest weeks of the summer for kids and parents...all the other camps are finished...kids are bored...parents can't wait for the school year to begin again.... So, that's why you'll want to bring them to make some art. This is an unparalled opportunity for kids who want art classes in Los Angeles!
