Art Exploration: Find Your Passion

Our Visual Arts classes do not require any type of assessment or portfolio to get into the program. Instructors will work with your child at the level that they are at. Your child will improve and learn new skills, whether they are a beginner or have been an artist for years.

• Old clothing or an apron to use during class time
• Any personal art supplies you like to use

All other supplies will be provided

We start the day working on a drawing exercise, focusing on a different technique each day. A new project, material, or approach is presented to the group after our drawing warm-up. Most of the day is spent working on this new project, letting students work at their own pace. When needed, additional projects will be presented throughout the day. Students will sometimes collaborate with another class and group projects can be supported when interest is shown. Our typical day starts at 9 and ends at 4, with an hour break for lunch.

Sara Edwards is a skilled artist and illustrator with deep roots in Idyllwild, where she has lived for most of her life. She has pursued her passion for the arts through studies at three different colleges, culminating in a BFA in Graphic Design. While her background spans various artistic disciplines, Sara’s primary focus lies in the exploration and application of materials—whether paint, ink, or paper—to create compelling, expressive works.
