All this beautiful art is done by my students (Grade 3-7) I wanted to add to the below comment by one of my students parents. Art improves children's confidence and decision making process in many ways, nothing inspires me more than reading positive comments from Parents about how their child has stronger self esteem and pride of ownership of the Art they create. "Thank you for your teaching my daughter. She really likes art lessons! And even she got a chance to teach how to draw for her classmate".

This week class photos! Acrylic painting class I love the way one student painted straight to canvas with no preliminary drawing at all and only took two hours to complete! she has been taking art classes with me for 4 years she is very focused and works hard to achieve beautiful Artwork.The panda projects were very varied and look so detailed and thoughtful including family members as pandas or as a self portrait.... I am so proud of all my students work but I wanted to hi-lite these new projects in particular well done!

A Great way to end 2014 with my Talented students Artwork in a book! Thanks to Russell for his hard work on assembling the Artwork and Portraits, photographing the Art and all the Students. I am very proud of my Students accomplishments over last year and for some over many years of hard work and dedication to improving the way they draw and paint. I look forward to another extremely successful year at Art for Life 4 Kids!! This year we will be doing Local Art exhibitions for my Students, details to come soon

Creating art is a fine way for children to make choices and solve problems. Every step involves making a decision: what colour to use, how to make a line, what size to make something. With every choice the object becomes more and more their own. (photos from art classes this week )

Congratulations to all my Students for their hard work and participation in making this upcoming Art Book. Here are some of the Portraits that will be in the Book. The Art Book will be available online hopefully end of November/beginning of December. Fifty Two students are in this book with their own Bio's and Artwork. Many thanks to Russell for taking the great pictures . Here are just a few of the portraits.
