*** Please note: These courses are recommended for students ages 13 through teens. A moderate level of drawing ability is required. Only you know the abilities of your own children, so if you have younger ones who want to participate, you can make that call. These lessons will be more advanced than our other art courses in that they will encourage the students to draw upon their own inner resources (no templates will be provided). The purpose of these courses is to launch your child into the world of art so they can take these very basic skills and soar with them! ***
