All My Lesson Plans

Check out my new blog! The link is to your left. Creatorsjoy.blogpot.com. Well, it will take me awhile to post them all, but they'll be there in time. Why give away all my lessons? Because most my students have been kind enough to stick with me and I have to keep coming up with new stuff! Also, some of you have missed important lessons and didn't get a chance to make them up. Finally, some of the wonderful young artist I teach have moved away, but still want to keep up with their art! Will I loose some students? Not likely. The supplies are expensive and the friendships are priceless!

Summer Clay Club

We have had such a great school year! I never realized I would meet such wonderful families! This summer I'll be busy teaching at Casas and Trinity, which will take up most of my days. However, Friday mornings starting May 29 I'll be able to offer Clay Club. It will be from 10:00 - 11:30 at Grace Community Church. $10 per child is an awesome deal for an hour and half, but it's important to me that you parents actually have time to get something done (summer can be long!). It's very informal, so you're child does not have to stay that long if he or she doesn't have that attention span (especially the younger ones). Also... let me know if your interested in BIRTHDAY PARTIES, or PRIVATE PAINTING CLASSES AT MY HOSUSE! Have a great summer!

New Classes

Parents' Night Out/Art Club meets on Tuesday nights from 6:00 - 8:00. Just let me know which night you want to come. Drop off and pick up times are flexible. $15 per child. Family discounts for families of three or four. Also, please check out previous posts. There is important information and ideas that I don't want you to miss.

Clay Creations at my house Tuesday, 2:15 - 3:15 ($15)

Arts Fest at LaEncantada

I would like to invite you to come se my art display at La Encantada. The Greater Oro Valley Arts Council is hosting an art festival October 18 and 19 from 10am - 5pm Saturday and Sunday. I will be joining other artist as we display our work around the shopping center. I would be so delighted to see you there!

Clay, Glorious Clay!

When I was young, a lady from Germany taught me how to make things with polymer clay, which at that time she ordered from Germany. I'll never forget that experience. I spent countless delightful hours creating anything and everything I could think of. I never could have guessed that I would have this opportunity to pass on that joy! With holiday decorations and gifts to make, this is the opportune time to immerse your children in beauty and creativity. Students will be given tools and techniques as well as help with the creative process. After that, the students are free to create. It's great for students who are tired of listening to the teacher and ready to spend time creating in peace.

Changes!

OK. At this point Monday at 11:00 is now Classical Drawing. I've had a request to change the class on Thursday at 11:00 to Illustration. If I have anyone else who wants to take illustration at that time, then I'll go with that. Anyone want a class on Friday afternoon? Let me know.

New Classes

The fall schedule is finally up. It is listed to your left. Classes meet once a week. I'm very happy about the art program in place. There are now classes to fit every level and style of learner. Please call me any time if you have questions. I'm really excited about the clay and painting classes. You can come whenever you want as long as you let me know two days in advance. I will cap the classes, so I may have to tell you I'm full for a certain day. I'm hoping to have a list of themes for these classes up soon. These classes are mostly for fun and for a chance to work with the medium.
