"Kids and parents alike have raved about how much fun they've had while learning 'serious' lessons from my workshops. I learned that art, like other genres, requires discipline, skill, and knowledge in addition to heart. Too often today's art curriculums focus on feelings and expression, and really are a means for building self-esteem through encouragement rather than through achievement. My workshops focus on teaching kids actual skills, and when they see the fruit of their labor, believe me, their smiles reflect good feelings are happenin' within!" says teacher Tim Chambers.
Another thing that is pretty cool about the ArtShops is that Tim offers them tuition-free to families that otherwise attend if finances weren't an issue. Tim says, "This has turned out to be a blessing not only to these kids, but also to me, as I discover once again that it really is more blessed to give than to receive. Besides, we all have a blast!"
