Kids Art for Kids at Heart

Do you have children in your life (your own, grandkids, the neighbor kids) who love art projects? My grandkids walk in the door and one of the first questions out of their mouths is usually, “What art can we to do today?”

Are you running out of ideas for projects they can do? If so, check out Carla Sonheim’s Kids Art Week lessons. Every summer for the past four years she has presented a week’s worth of free art lessons for kids. Each year’s lessons are still available and still free! Many times she ties a project to a particular artist and teaches about that artist and their style of art. She also teaches techniques using various types of simple art supplies. My grandkids have done these projects every year and eagerly look forward to her new lessons.

Here’s an excerpt from a recent email from Carla Sonheim about her kids art week classes:

These classes were created for kids of ALL ages. We have worked with animals, Famous Artists, folded paper and more!
To access these free lessons, go to
https://www.carlasonheim.com/online-classes/ and scroll down, and then add one or all four “Kids Art Week” classes to your account. You will need to go through the checkout process, but you won’t be charged anything.
