It is my intention to make art education more affordable and readily available for teachers, afterschool programs, and homeschoolers. Students should be taught that art is fun and exciting! And, with the many budget cuts, this is a perfect solution for a cost effective hands-on art lesson.
The lessons are super easy to facilitate as well!
