My 9-year-old son likes art and is good at it. Unfortunately, the schools in Hillsborough County schedule art class for 30 minutes, once a week. Not only is my son totally disenchanted with the art teacher, it just is not enough time for a child to learn and explore his creativity in 30 min. a week.
But, now we have Shelly Valdez, owner and art instructor at Get ARTrageous! Wow, what an unbelievable experience my son had for a week of art camp this month. He got to explore, drawing, painting, sculpture, how to use color, technique to drawing animals, and a whole lot more!
It was such a good experience that he is signed up for art classes once a week after school from 3:00pm to 4:15pm. He is going to learn how to draw cartoons and 3-D images!. He's totally psyched!
I highly recommend Get ARTrageous. Miss Shelly, who has taught art for several years in Hillsborough County schools, is awesome with the kids. read more
