Stevi's Artnook

One of my students explored Photoshop for the first time, and this is what she made. So pretty! We've also been discussing how to combine familiar shapes in new and interesting ways. She nailed it.

We are going all out decorating these mini pumpkins. I am so intrigued by this student artist's work!! This pumpkin is wearing a sweater!!!! I LOVE IT. #ArtWithStevi

I'm in love with this piece. Well done, student!!! #studentart #surreal #ArtWithStevi

Here are current art classes! My Thursday class from 4:30pm-6:00pm is completely full. Class times change now and then, so check out the website in my bio for official times. None of these times work for you? I am always open to suggestions for new class times. Tuition pays for 4 lessons per month. Parents are expected to provide some art materials as needed. ... Who are these art classes for? Kids 5-17 (except for special classes, such as the Saturday class, which accommodates 4 year olds) Kids that like art. (No one has to be "good" at art.) What do we learn in art class? art elements & principles artistic techniques proper use of materials art history developing creative concepts how to analyze art What kind of art do we do? We do 2D and 3D art We use paint, pencil, marker, clay, magazine, recyclables, and more!!! Style and genre are ultimately decided by the student's interest Message me if you're interested in classes or visit my website for more info: stevisartnook.com

The existence of this little art studio is a testament to the kindness of friends, family, and strangers. Because of that kindness, kids can find a place of belonging in the Art World. Visalia is filled with thoughtful people. Thank you to everyone who had supported me (and my little artists) along the way. #Visalia #downtownvisalia #ArtWithStevi #559art #559

He finished his hat!!! #ArtWithStevi

A few minutes after my students get to work, they take on the kind of stillness and quiet contentment that only comes from art. It's pretty magical. #ArtWithStevi

I am so proud of my students, who bring tons of life to my little studio with their art, ideas, and personalities. If you ever want to stop by to see the studio and meet me, DM me!

A little chameleon to brighten your day!

"What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything?... Great things are done by a series of small things brought together." ~Vincent Van Gogh Also, who has heard the song "Vincent" by Don McClean? I love the cover by James Blake.

Brainstorming ideas and exploring mediums are so important. My students surprise themselves all the time with the colors, shapes, and interests they discover when they relax and just play with art.
