Kristin was one of my fine art students from the age of 4 years old. Here is an example of her butterfly and panda. She studied this cirriculum until the age of 8 years old. Kristin completed these works at age 4 and 5 years old.

 

"I’ve always admired the way you communicated with my granddaughter. Your thoughtfulness and concern for Kristin’s age and how much she could handle were right on I thought an hour session at the outset would be good but you expressed concern about over-using her little hand and sitting for that long, so we reduced it to 30 minutes, and even then you were cognizant of how much she was able to accomplish without getting too tired."

"I was equally impressed with the way you planned and prepared for each art class. You were always ready. And taking her on that field trip to the art store to buy supplies was a real experience for her. Saving her art work in her very own portfolio is something that will always be with her. She loved signing her artist’s name to each drawing and watercolor. This opened a creative door for Kristin that will be with her forever. We still cherish all her drawings and paintings, and most are still on display in our homes."

"Kristin gave a demo to her class, teaching them how to draw a bear. You showed her how to make a little fist, and she drew around that, making the body first. Then the head. Then the ears. It was so darling. Those little guys in the classroom caught on so quickly and she really enjoyed showing them how. I’ll never forget." - Beverly Garcia, Kristin's grandmother.
