Classes for Ages 8-12

Session 2: October 20 - December 7, 2025

Create with color theory! Practice your color mixing skills and use color theory to create stunning artwork

We will start the class with reviewing the color wheel and incorporate it into a drawing. In our next projects, we will use color theory to create an abstract artwork inspired by the artist Wassily Kandinsky, and we will explore color value by creating a monochromatic painting. In the end, we will develop our own contrasting color palettes and use them in our artwork.

All artists get to choose one of their artworks to be included in our next exhibition and will be invited to attend our exhibition opening party!

  • Eva taught both of my children for three years. She is the kind of person that kids are drawn to and want to hug all the time, and yet, she is a strong leader. She is creative, attentive, and takes children and their ideas seriously.

    Melissa (parent)

  • Eva is an experienced educator who naturally connects with children. She uses her wealth of experience to keep students engaged and entertained. Never expect her to teach just one thing at a time - she constantly creates connections across subjects and will find ways to include music, math, science, or history into any art lesson.

    Zoran (colleague)

  • Eva has a gift for building connections with children of all ages within minutes. She instantly gets their attention, awakens their curiosity, and brings out their smiles. In return, she gives them respect, shares her knowledge, teaches new skills, and makes sure everybody has fun. More than a fair deal, I‘d say.
