Last chance to sign up for Summer!
I have classes that are almost to capacity, and I won't squish more in. But I have a few openings still and would love to fill them! Classes start June 6th so don't procrastinate! Head over to the Summer Classes link (above in the menu). First come first serve! Summer will be so much fun! We will learn like crazy but it will be a fun atmosphere! That's the best way to learn if you ask me!
Fall Registration is Open!
I have made my schedule for the classes at my studio for Fall. If you want to register now you certainly can! Fall classes are in the menu above. I have simplified payments so that it is a flat fee and you can pay in one, two or three installments! Yay for simplifying!!!
I am possibly going to add classes at the Lehi Arts Building, and I am discussing classes for Draper and another location in Saratoga Springs. As those get worked out I will let you know. I know so many people from Orem to Taylorsville have asked me to come closer, but I don't know if that will be possible, but I am doing what I can to get a little closer!

Scholarships
I have been giving out scholarships anonymously this semester. I decided that I would make this known to everyone. You can see a link up above in the menu bar for "scholarships". If you are in financial need you can apply. If you know someone who would be interested but can't afford class, please refer them to the scholarship application.
I offer up to three scholarships each semester. These go to students who show a very intense interest in art and whose families are in a financial situation that prevents them from being able to afford classes. If you are in this situation, or know someone who is, then I encourage you (or your referral) to apply.
2. The family must be in financial need. (I do not require proof, just honesty.)
3. The application is due no later than two weeks before the semester starts. Applications will be applied to whichever semester they are turned in in time for.
4.The student cannot miss more than two classes per semester or the scholarship will be given to someone else. If the student misses a third class the student will not be permitted to class without paying. (I want this to be an opportunity that is taken seriously, and I expect it to be used wisely.)
5. Any one student can only receive a maximum of two scholarships.
6. Scholarships are not transferable.
7. Scholarships are awarded based on the application.
8. All ages may apply.

Boy Scout Art Classes in June
I am setting up a class for Boy Scouts to work on their Art Merit Badges, Cub Scout art belt loops and pins. (I am a merit badge counselor for art!) We will tackle most of the projects needed in class with a few being done at home in the week between classes.
You must attend both sessions in order to finish the requirements! Materials will be provided. We will be working with messy materials, so dress appropriately.

Summer Classes filling quickly!
If you are still on the fence you may want to make a decision. I have only got a couple of spots left in some of the summer classes!
I also made options for the classes that are less structured so that you can do one month or both. So for those who wanted to participate but have vacations planned you can hopefully still join us!
Just head over to the Summer Classes page to sign up!

New! Acrylic Painting classes for summer!
I have had a few kids request a painting class. I don't want to do any that are really expensive, but acrylics are fun, fairly simple, safe and inexpensive. I added two classes for summer. If you click on the Summer Classes link you will see them.
Ages 9+
No previous experience required
We will work on completing some paintings in class. The number will vary based on the student's experience and the difficulty and size of the project.
Supplies Needed:
*A basic set of acrylic paint (not craft paint, get an artist set of acrylics) we can mix our own colors as long as they have a good basic set.
*Paint brushes: various sizes, but smaller rather than larger. Make sure they are for watercolors or acrylics.
*A brush cleaner (these are jars or tubs that you can fill with water to clean the brushes)
*a roll of paper towels
*canvas or paper (that is specifically for acrylics- it will be thicker than regular drawing paper.)
*Palette: I use the kind that come in what looks like a drawing pad- they are just disposable papers
*a picture or collage of what you want to paint
*drawing pencil: either 2H, H, HB B, or 2B (NOT CHARCOAL!)

Rulers needed!
We are starting perspective lesson in Drawing 1 next week. I have 12" rulers they can use. However, if they have their own ruler that is 15-18" it would be awesome! Perspective is really fun, and it will be a nice change of pace. The students have done an awesome job this semester! I hope you will consider taking summer classes so that they keep using these skills!
Saturday
New TWO hour class for summer! (Get your errands done!)
I am excited to announce a new class! My 15 year old daughter is trying to earn money for a school trip. It is hard to find a job for a 15 year old. So we came up with a plan that we are hoping will help both her and a bunch of the parents out there who dread errand running in the summer!
I will help her with the class, and guide it. But she is going to be in charge of the game portion, because she has way more energy and ideas in that department! And we will work on the arts & crafts part together.

This is a TWO Hour class so that parents can have a break and run errands during the summer months.
This class will be fun crafts and art projects. We will have a different project each week.
We will also incorporate some fun games and play time to make this their favorite day of the week!

(papers, paints, markers, pastels, and a box for carrying our projects home, etc.)
*You will want to have your child wear an apron or an old shirt- we tend to get our hands a little messy!

May & Summer Classes in Sandy on hold
I have some really sad news. I found out today that the Sandy Robert's store is closing. So, for now we will finish classes through April. They will be closing mid-May, so I am going to hold off on the class extensions for right now. And summer classes are on hold as well.
If you know of a good location, similar to the Robert's classroom I would be happy to look into it. I know Hobby Lobby and Michael's have classrooms, but I don't know how available they are or what they charge for rent. So I am going to look into that. Hobby Lobby would be really close to where we were in Sandy, so that is my preference at the moment. I can also look into the South Jordan and American Fork Robert's stores.
I am so sad about this news, both because it affects our classes and because I always liked shopping at Robert's. I've been shopping at that store for about... forever.
If you are still interested in those class times, please still register. That will help me know how large of a classroom am going to need, and to let me give the new location an idea of class size as well. Do not pay for classes yet because I don't want to take money and then need to return it!
Thank you for your patience while I sort out what to do!

Summer Classes in Sandy
I have added two summer classes in Sandy. If these fill I will open a third.

I added some classes to the summer schedule that are specifically for Cub Scouts. I can pass the boys off on Wolf and Bear Art Electives, Webelos Artist Badge, Cub Scout Belt Loops, and Cub Scout Art Pin.

The classes go for a specific length of time based on the requirements. All supplies will be included for the cost of class. Classes are first come first serve based on the payment being received.
*Please do not wear your scout uniform to class- we will be painting some weeks and working with other messy materials. We don't want to ruin the scout uniforms!*
