 Dante LOVES art now because of your program when we were able to send him! "Hi, I just wanted to thank your staff for introducing me to KidzArt. My daughter is 4 years old and was recently tested for kindergarten readiness and the teacher was blown away at my daughter's abilities. Out of 18 children in the class no other child was able to completely draw the geometric figures given. They were also asked to draw themselves and only expecting stick figures, my daughter drew a detailed three dimensional figure. Her coloring skills are that of a six year old. The teacher explained to me that this type of advancement will help her excel in math and reading. I feel that my daughter's experience with the KidzArt program at such an early age plays a big role in her academic achievements. I thank you for recommending the program to me and I will be sure to share this with everyone around me. Happy Holidays!"
"Thank you for bringing the KidzArt program to our elementary school. My son Sean, a 1st grader, has always loved to draw and be creative but we could not find an art class for younger kids. KidzArt has the perfect balance where beginners can learn and the artists are challenged. Thanks for all you do with the kids, Sean loves the class and has learned a lot." "My kids just finished up art camp through Kidzart. They had a great time and made a whole bunch of very cool projects including sketch books covered with tie-dyed coffee filters, watercolor paintings, dyed tote bags, and sand sculptures. They said they want to go again next summer, always a good endorsement! But even cooler, I can (and most likely will) order things with their artwork on them through www.kidzartproducts.com. Through the camp they upload the kids art to this website, but apparently you can also do it yourself. I have my eye on the notecards." "I can't believe how much my child has progressed at only 3 years. He is drawing now, not just scribbling" "Thank you for emailing back. Madisyn did receive her portfolio on Tuesday. My husband ordered two since she is going to be in the class the whole school year. I have to tell you that she loves it! She asked me yesterday if I could send in a note so she could be in it again but I had to explain that it is only once a week. I have seen a difference in her drawings at home and I am so happy for her. You have a wonderful program!" "My daughter begs to go to her classes on the days we do not go." "I have tried every major art program for my children and not one produces the results of the KidzArt programs!" "She loves these KidzArt classes and looks forward to them every week! She brings home great artwork, but more importantly, she has experienced a complete turn around in how she views herself artistically. Today she can see her individuality and creativity. She confidently calls herself an artist. (In reality, she has always been an artist!) I credit Ms. Cheryl and your KidzArt program for this wonderful growth. Thank you." "Thank you, Jessica and Paige, for a wonderful program! My 7 year old has always enjoyed art but after attending your Safari summer camp, she transformed! Suddenly she's drawing better than ever! I was amazed at how much she learned and at how much she's drawing now. She's making all kinds of artwork for us. She so enjoyed the Safari camp she wanted to sign up for the Around the World camp too. So we did! I have to give credit to your instructors. They were fun, patient and nice. Everyday after camp she talked on and on about her art teachers. You have a terrific program going - well run, educational and fun!" "I just wanted to say thank you for this wonderful program. My daughter took her first 2 week summer camp KidzArt worskshop and has come home with amazing art each day. I thought my daughter was talented in art but I didn't know how I could help her grow in this area. I've found the right place now. I look forward to placing her in more KidzArt classes in the near future!" “I just wanted to send a special THANK YOU to you and your staff for everything you do with our children. Thanks to your inspiration and commitment, Kyle was able to share his creativity with some very special people this month. We took two pieces of his artwork and created personalized note cards for his grandmothers, special teachers and his very favorite aunt! "Thank you again for all that you and your organization do to promote the artistic talents of our children. You guys are the very best!”
"Mitch absolutely loves the program. It has really helped him improve his fine motor skills and even more importantly, his confidence. He told me last evening that the three careers he's currently considering are: Zookeeper, Veterinarian or Artist. I'm guessing his involvement in the program has influenced that last interest." "I credit you with raising Juliet's self-esteem in the area of art. I really appreciate it. She (Juliet) loves these KidzArt classes and looks forward to them every week! She brings home great artwork, but more importantly, she has experienced a complete turn around in how she views herself artistically. Today she can see her individuality and creativity. She confidently calls herself an artist. (In reality, she has always been an artist!) I credit Ms. Cheryl and your KidzArt program for this wonderful growth. Thank you. I’ll definitely spread the word about your wonderful program. I really appreciate your attention to her." "My son, Matthew, takes KidzArt at Pioneer School and absolutely loves it. Last Tuesday after his class, we were talking about his drawing and I would like to share his comment with you. "After three classes my drawing is amazing!" This is coming from a boy who just last fall told me that he was terrible at drawing and was really sad about it. Thanks!!!! "As a teacher, I have several students in the KidzArt program. I notice students' behavior, attitude and confidence in a different light. Students that may have struggled during the school day with academics now have an area where they can shine and feel successful. They are proud of their accomplishments and talk about their experience the next day in class. I use that as a teachable moment to remind them to apply those same concepts in the classroom. I have seen a dramatic change in some students." "KidzArt has been a great addition to our school giving our children an opportunity to participate and explore with art without leaving the building! The instructors do a wonderful job planning and implementing fun and exciting art curriculum. The students' skills grow from week to week. What a great program to encourage creativity and self confidence. I have been very pleased with the program." "I just want to tell you that Ry really enjoyed KidzArt this year, which THRILLS me!!! I thank you. So...I am wondering if it is too early to save TWO spots for next year. If you plan to do it the same way, my rising kindergartener and rising Second grader (Ry) will be in the same class. I would LOVE to hold two spots. If it is too early, please let me know when you will open the enrollment and I will mark it on my calendar. Thanks again for everything...and hopefully the future for two!!" "Ben LOVES these classes...He has come home and done so much artwork - which we really encourage at home and all of sudden he's talking about form and balance and the relation of objects. He is so excited for Wednesdays and really just loves going to the class. He's so proud of his growth and we're amazed by what he's done. WOW! I cannot recommend your classes highly enough - it's been great. We really are so pleased with the classes. It's one of the best programs that any of my kids have ever been enrolled in! We can't wait to do more!" "My work schedule has been so hectic , that it would have been just like me to set it down somewhere and not get her in. We will encourage her friends to attend, because she loves it! I have been so impressed with the work she has done so far. My mother is an artist too and has raved about your program!"
"Sandy Wilkerson has been instructing my son Gus, for the last 2 years in Frenchtown MT. She is Awesome! I read her comment on the website regarding my son’s disappointment in not attending class on a sick day. It was true! He was upset with me for not allowing him to go to art class, despite being home sick all day. He loves Sandy. "Hats off to Sandy and your program, and thank for sharing with our young people. It’s a super program and a great outlet. Keep up the good work." "I am equally delighted with the program, Philip's artistic abilities, and Megan's work with Philip. I have been looking for someone to help me with Philip. I mention to other teachers about my concern with his doing gross, mutilating art work since grade 3ish. I am most frequently told not to worry about it, and to instead focus on the detail. Well, the detail was just getting more gruesome. I find Megan's approach to be delightful. She seems happy and upbeat and very matter of fact in challenging Philip to "think outside of the box". I would like to frame pieces that Philip works on. So, my overall goal for Philip is being accomplished with Megan's attitude and work. Thanks again. Your program is truly a breath of fresh air for me, and I am sure for Philip. His dad is equally pleased!" "Jake's artwork now covers an entire wall in the hall upstairs, so we see it every day. His friends come over when he has an 'art show', and he proudly presents and explains his newest works. KidzArt continues to be a great self-esteem builder for him and he looks forward to learning new things every week. Veronica is great with the kids and is always very positive and calm. Thanks again!" "Thank you so much for providing such a wonderful enrichment program at Trail Blazer Elementary School. My 5 year old son benefited from the program in MANY ways. The first time that I dropped him off, he was nervous and wanted me to wait outside of the door. By the end of the class, he was asking when he could go to KidzArt again. Not only did his art skills improve significantly, but his self confidence grew a ton. My 4 year old daughter is excited to begin kindergarten in the fall and 'can’t wait to do KidzArt too'. Thank you!”
