Middle and High school students.

Gather with a group of fellow inspired and creatives minds. Do you miss creating and feeling the call back to it? This is the place for you! Want to try a new hobby and explore artistic mediums. This is the place for you!

Tara will show you techniques, encourage you, help you and help you enhance your style and or find your artistic voice. No group projects unless you want a group project.

You work on images and designs that you find interesting and or inspire you.

Bring you own supplies or we have them for you to explore and play with watercolor, markers, pencil, colored pencil, acrylics, and mixed media.

Littles Who Draw - 1 hour

Mondays 4:30 - 5:30 and Wednesday ages 5 - 9 (4:30 - 5:30)

In this class we focus on the structure of creating images. 

Every week we create a new image based on words the kids give the week before OR we create a mystery piece based on their interests and skill level. The students are walked through the pieces step by step and then they make changes, add images and color to their creations. Everyone has the same images to build off of and everyone’s piece is different.
