Specialties
Art Classes for the Creative Child.
Pint Sized Picassos is a small art studio where artists, ages 5 to 12 can discover their creativity, develop their talents and gain self-confidence through visual art. Focusing mainly on drawing and painting, young artists will be introduced to and inspired by great art masters. They will dabble in a little art history and basic theory and practice various techniques while using high quality materials. Structured, age-appropriate lessons are intermixed with open studio time («free-style work»), giving young artists an opportunity to explore art on their own terms. Small class sizes facilitate more individualized instruction. Our philosophy: It’s about the process, not the product. Each child is unique. The creative process is different for everyone. I provide structure, but within the structure, there is lots of opportunity for independent artistic exploration. Children spend time exploring an art medium thoroughly.
History
Established in 2013.
I am a NYS certified Elementary Education classroom teacher. I have a background in studio art and art history. In college, I founded an Outward Bound art program for high school students from the inner city schools. Students would come to campus for art classes focusing on many different skills. I studied Renaissance Art and sculpture in Florence, Italy. After college I worked in the art world. I worked for the Museum of the City of New York, and before that, I worked for the American Federation of Arts on East 65th Street, that collected and packaged traveling art exhibitions for museums across the country. I took classes in watercolor, oil painting, and drawing at The Art Students League on W 57th St in NYC in 1997, 1999, and 2000.
After graduate school and teaching full time in 1998, I continued to practice the fine arts. I taught art after school at Holy Name of Jesus School in NYC in ’03 -’04, and then in 2009 at Old Mill Rd, in Merrick. I planned and executed all the lessons.
