I have taken several classes with Catherine, a drawing class, and a watercolor painting class…read more Both classes were well run, informative, and enjoyable. As someone without a great deal of artist talent Catherine's warm and encouraging style allowed me to feel comfortable exploring and creating. Some of the other students in the class were very talented artists. The supportive atmosphere she creates in her classes allowed me to benefit from the techniques she shared with them rather than feeling intimidated. I highly recommend trying one of her classes no matter what your level of experience or talent.

Our students learn traditional techniques with graphite pencils, colored pencils, watercolor and acrylic paints to illustrate portraits, landscape, animals, still-life, and abstract subjects. Classes are capped at 8 seats, so we can provide individualized attention. Located in New Bedford's longest-running artist community, we often take field trips to visit the professional creators who work in our building. Our year-round schedule includes after-school, weekend, school vacation, and summertime hours. Many students attend the school for years, often returning as teaching assistants once they age out of the program.

The progress they've made at Little Learners is beyond what I could have imagined for them and it's all thanks to the individual care and attention each student gets at this preschool. The curriculum is well thought out and implemented keeping the kids engaged, learning and thriving. No matter what level your child is at, Miss Leanna and Miss Beth ensure your children are prepared for kindergarten and beyond! I'm so happy with the care my children received here and highly recommend Little Learners to anyone looking for an enriched learning experience for their children. An added bonus is how well the teachers keep the parents involved in their kids day to day at school with frequent photos and videos along with messages that are always answered in a timely manner. I would give 100 stars if we were given the option.

My daughter has been going here for about 2 years now and we all absolutely love Little Learners…read more The curriculum is challenging yet balanced, and provides a very strong foundation for kindergarten across many dimensions beyond the typical ABC, 123. The teachers are thoughtful and truly encourage every child's independent thought, problem solving, socialization, and unique perspectives. The school is run effective and efficiently, with regular communications via email and 2x/year progress reports. Watching the teachers with each student is really inspiring- they treat every child with respect and kindness. We already have our next kid on the waitlist for when they can attend, and would recommend Little Learners to anyone.

I have found that the level of the instruction is excellent and the faculty is very, very good. If you are a beginner - this is a good place to start your artistic life. If you are experienced - this is the place that will challenge and encourage you to move forward with style, technique and camaraderie. I've noticed that many of the students were once interested in painting or pottery but " life got in the way" and they have returned to pursue their interest. The enthusiasm in the classroom and workshops is contagious,doubts about skill levels disappear. Lectures continued during the pandemic via zoom as well as classroom instruction. I encourage you to stop by and view the gallery. The shows, with a variety of themes, are always superb.

Last week, I went to the Opening Reception for the South Shore Art Center's current Media Mix…read moreexhibition (one of my pieces is in the show!) What a lovely evening! And, crowded, too -the entire gallery space was packed! There was food, beer, wine, live jazz music, awards, and lots of beautiful artwork! :) If you have never been, there are basically 2 main gallery spaces, the Bancroft Gallery & the Dillon Gallery. The Bancroft gallery is the larger space where Media Mix is being shown. I like this space very much! It has large walls on one side of it, and shorter walls on the other side with ample lighting. The walls seem to be some kind of upholstered plywood which makes for easy positioning of paintings. (No worrying about hiding nail holes!) There is also a hardwood floor which makes the entire space look modern and clean. The Dillon Gallery is smaller and darker. There was an exhibit of Italian paintings in there, which I enjoyed very much! This was really my first involvement with the South Shore Art Center, but overall, it seems to be a great place to view and learn about art! Everyone I met there is very friendly, and happy to meet local artists. It is also located in a beautiful town! I highly recommend stopping by to take a peek: http://blog.thelonebeader.com/2010/03/media-mix-opening-reception.html
