Kids Summer Art

These kids did their assignments that were given to them from me. There were 10 projects to fulfill and complete at home. Here is just a few peices of art that was shown to me.

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to take pictures of everyones art. I wish I could have showed you a bit of everyone's.  They were quite amazing, and I was very impressed. I thoroughly enjoyed looking through everyones art.  You all blessed me immensely.

Who is this new face at Art with B. Calvert?

I would like to introduce a new member of Art with B. Calvert to you all.  This is my wonderful mom and my kids lovingly call her Nana.  You may see her periodically and so I thought you I should introduce her to you.  She is going to help me greatly this year.  She will be at the art prize days helping hand out prizes on Thurs and Friday(My friend Jen will help me on Saturday).  She will be there on the first day of the month at some of the classes to help take payments when tuition is due. 

She is going to take my youngest for me, Emma,  while the older boys are in school, so that I can put all of my time and attention on my students.  She feels blessed to be able to spend time with her grandchildren.  Here she is on our Idaho vacation this summer playing with the kids.  She made a big batch of bubbles and they had huge bubble wands, super fun Nana!
My mom and dad have always encouraged me to do art because they could see I enjoyed it and I am forever grateful for their support.  My dad has passed away 6 yrs ago, but so glad I still have my mom.  Thanks mom, it is going to be a great year!  Thanks for joining my team!

Looking for that perfect gift for a child who loves art?

 Do you need a birthday gift idea?..........We have gift certificates here! 
Reasons why it is a GREAT idea:
1) You are buying them an experience verses a “thing”
2) They will be able to bring something home that they made. 
3) They are able to contact me to schedule the class that works for them.

4) You are investing in their future.  Studies show that students in quality art programs benefit from a wide range of positive effects including development of creativity and thinking skills, better self-expression, appreciation of art and music, learning about other cultures, and enriched personal satisfaction with their achievements.

$36 gets your artist one month (3 sessions) of art classes.
