Please reach out to Ms. Melissa @ 480-390-8193 with any questions, inquiries, and suggestions! I am always open and available to share ideas, help, and/or inspire!
Please feel free to message me for party information. I travel with all materials needed for an awesome time. I bring aprons, stools, tables, drop cloths, paint, water cups, easels, canvas, and crafts for a craft party. You may even choose your painting or theme. I can also host parties like “unicorns”, “dinosaurs”, “mermaids”, “Minecraft”, even clay, as I have a kiln.
Feel free to text or phone, and we can chat to see if I can serve your creative needs!

For My Amazing Homeschool Families:
All my lessons align with the Arizona State Standards for Visual Arts and the National Visual Arts Standards. I am quite proficient in both sets of standards. I even helped write the Arizona State Standards for Visual Arts in 2015. I provide a well-rounded assortment of lessons including various forms of art, and many different mediums (including kiln-fired clay). I believe in having small class sizes and plenty of personalized attention. Every student deserves an outstanding art education with “hands-on” experiences that they will remember forever. They will have so much fun, that they won’t even realize they are learning!
Please check out the links below for copies of the Visual Art Standards

Art Journaling
What is an Art Journal?
An Art journal is a visual diary where you practice making art while expressing yourself at the same time.
I will teach different techniques every time students come to class. We will be painting, collaging, inking, stamping, tearing, coloring, printing, and even sewing…the options are endless. THIS IS A BLAST!
This class is awesome for angry teens, happy teens, curious teens, messy teens, neat teens, hyper teens, quiet teens, creative teens, bored teens, inspired teens, teens that love to write, teens that love to draw, teens that love to paint, and teens that love to collect papers and photos and all kinds of oddities. Seriously, this class is awesome. Your kiddo will love it!
