Painting is just another way of keeping a diary.
-Pablo Picasso
This is the 16th issue of "Young @ Art". This newsletter is full of holiday-themed ideas for you and your young artist to try. There is also information about our upcoming classes, and the Holiday Art Camp.
Remember... using a sketchbook daily will greatly improve anyone's drawing skills. New Years Day is the perfect time to adopt the practice of using a sketchbook, and making it your new year's resolution! (hint, hint... start using a sketchbook!)
Student artwork: If your young artist has left behind artwork from Summer Camp or the September Art Walk, you should arrange a time to pick it up from me. Please email me. Thanks!
