Big ideas. Brave little beginnings.
Room to grow.

A curious question, an unexpected color, a “what happens if…?”—there’s a lot to discover here. Your child can explore materials, build real art skills, and bring their own ideas to life.

Why the experience matters

It’s not just what art
your child is doing.
It’s what art is doing
for your child.

You’ll see drawings, paintings, sculptures—and probably a little paint on their sleeves. Along the way, your child gets to practice looking closely, making choices, working through tricky parts, and finding ways to express an idea.

That’s what I’m paying attention to, too: what they notice, what they try, and how they decide what comes next.

Our Approach

A little guidance.
A lot to discover.

Sometimes your child needs a new technique. Sometimes they need another look, a different tool, or a chance to try again. I break skills into manageable steps, ask questions, and help them decide what to try next.

There’s thoughtful teaching behind the exploring—and plenty of room for surprises.

Wonder → Notice → Learn → Explore → Reflect. These are the habits we come back to as ideas take shape.

01

Wonder

What happens if…?

02

Notice

Take another look. What do you see?

03

Learn

Let’s try a new tool, skill, or artist’s trick.

04

Explore

Give it a go. See where your ideas take you.

05

Reflect

What surprised you? What might you try next?

Find your place

Big ideas start here.

From a first experiment to a project they can’t wait to finish, each class gives your kids guidance, new skills, and room for their own ideas.

Art Scientist day · Form

How do shapes
become forms?

At the beginning of each month, we turn into Art Scientists and get curious about a new art fundamental. This time, we explored Form—how shapes can become three-dimensional forms—and began learning what sculpture is.

With different open-ended materials to choose from, the kids experimented and created forms of their own.

Meet Camila

Hi, I’m Camila.

I’ve loved art and drawing since I was a kid. As a teen, my private art teacher gave me a place to express myself and grow. I wanted to give your kids that same kind of space—to develop as individuals and artists.

I want your kids to feel comfortable asking questions, trying something unfamiliar, and making art that feels like theirs. I’ll teach them skills they can use, help them through the tricky parts, and make room for their ideas to surprise us.

Things I’m noticing, materials we’re trying, questions worth asking, and little moments that say a lot about how kids learn to make art.

I’m gathering those stories for Studio Notes. The first posts are on their way.
