Summer art classes for kids, Seattle

Studio-kids has been offering kids classes for 14 years! Located in Ballard, get your art fix in my backyard studio.

This summer I will be offering my summer intensive series once again. Summer intensives are private sessions or small groups of friends (1-4 students). We'll meet twice a week for a 2 hour session over the course of 2 weeks.

Session 1  Monday July 8, Tuesday July 9, Monday 15, Tuesday 16  10-12 or 2-4

Session 2  Wednesday July 10, Thursday July11, Wednesday July17, Thursday July 18  10-12 or 2-4

Who: Ages 9 and up

Cost: $400 all materials included 

Email Ameen to register and for more information


Week 1: All about color, a deep dive into color theory. With a limited palette of primary colors (and white)  students will mix secondary colors and tints  to create a 12x16 acrylic painting on canvas.



Week 2: Students choice! One of the benefits of private and small group sessions is that I can adapt projects to student interest. We get to know each other the first week and during the second week we build on skills based on their areas of interest.

Possible projects include:

-A variety of handmade artist books. Handmade art journal with good quality drawing paper. A mixed media consertina style book, paperbag cover stamped books and quick mini books to gift to friends.  






Large format relief print. Students work through all the planning stages from brain storming subject matter, gathering items in the studio to create a still life, thumbnail sketches, preliminary drawings, finished drawings and carving. Together we discuss the elements of design and how to create a strong composition. 




-Multi colored printed tiles
Students will learn about reduction printing method, radial symmetry and design with this relief printmaking project.

Summer art camps coming next week

Summer camps will be posted next week!!!!

Happy Mothers Day! If you have a child in one of my sessions, don't look at this post until monday!!!


April in my backyard is all about tulips and cherry blossoms. Students did 2 different acrylic painting projects with 2 different techniques. Students were given a limited color palette and a detailed demonstration on brush work.  Paintings are 4"x10" on heavy weight multi media paper. Each student did 2 paintings to surprise mom with on Mothers day. There were A LOT of beautiful tulips to choose from and it was hard to just pick 2 sets. A very successful project for everyone.




I have a class of younger students, I decided that I really liked their tulips as they were, so we skipped the blue background.




 I'll save the rest of the cherry blossoms for next weeks post.....

Paintings, guitars and summer camps

Summer camps are now registering, click here for all the details.



New musical instruments in the house mean new musical instrument still life subjects in the studio!
I had the students do a few thumbnail sketches to start. A close up of the guitar needed to be the main subject and the keyboard incorporated into the background.
