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.
