I love the response!

    Many people have responded to my new website and blog!  I am so excited with the comments,which are ranging from favorable to very favorable.  You can't beat that.
     The dear person who took all those photos of the Birch Scene watercolor class used on site wrote that she'd like to arrange a play date for her and her grandchildren at A YELLOW HOUSE.  What a great idea! I have created a drawing class which accommodates all ages
      We start with basic geometric shapes and I show students how to make animals, people, whatever out of those shapes.  When we get our drawings done we cut them out and arrange them on a big piece of paper, on which we have drawn or traced a background.  The end result is a very nice looking picture that usually surprises the artist,who had no previous conception of their latent talent. 
       The last one we did was for Halloween, but this method lends itself to any topic.  Christmas pictures would be awesome.   I have some donated paper and lots of pencils so at this time there would be no materials charge for this class.  The fee would be $12 per child, with one accompanying adult sitting in free, and even making drawings if they desire.  I always serve a treat.  You can't take your kids to the movies for less than that!  Right now I don't have any of these classes scheduled, but I would be happy to schedule one for a minimum of 4 students.  I can accommodate 8-10.  Holiday breaks are coming up.   Plan three hours for each class.  I will schedule any day, any time including weekends.  According to the BOLD school schedule, Christmas break is from December 23 to Jan. 3.  Be the first to schedule a drawing class!
