Art for Kids
EVERY course by “Art of kids” are amazing. The teacher is so great and my kids love it as they work with her. If I could give her more stars then 5 I would!!!! I highly recommend this course and all her courses.
Well organized lessons
Another fun art class by Ms. Em! The lessons are organized first by presenting facts/background about the subject/theme of the lesson, then the painting of the background or the outline of the painting, and finally finishing the painting with foreground and details.
