I am a visual artist and a teacher. I enjoy teaching at Kaleidoscope School of Art located in downtown Barrington, IL. Kaleidoscope's classes are for all levels and ages beginning at age 4 and continuing through adulthood. Art lessons include drawing, painting, printmaking, clay sculpture, pottery, papier-mache, cartooning, fiber arts, and mixed-media.

I personally offer step-by-step drawing and painting and clay sculpture classes to children ages 4 - 13 and an adult level step-by-step class as well as an open studio class for adults. If you are interested in joining these or any of a number of other classes offered by other qualified professionals, please contact Kaleidoscope School of Art and enroll today: (847)381-4840.
Kaleidoscope offers Private lessons for students who want more individual attention or for whom the regularly scheduled classes aren't convenient. Private lesson rates are $42 per person per hour for drawing and painting instruction and $50 per person per hour for clay sculpture instruction. Materials are included. Semi-private lesson rates for 3 or more students are $27.50 per person per hour for drawing and painting and $33 per person per hour for clay sculpture. Twenty percent is paid to Kaleidoscope for use of the building and supplies. Email me if you'd like to schedule a time for private lessons.
Kaleidoscope has been offering fine art classes to Barrington and surrounding communities since 1986. Kaleidoscope seeks to maintain quality instruction in an inspiring, encouraging, comfortable, yet structured envirionment. Class size is kept small in order to give students individual attention and the opportunity to learn at their own abililty and pace. Any age student (age 4 and older) at any skill level is welcome. Classes are usually an hour to an hour and a half and meet once a week for 6 week sessions that range in price from $98-$202 per 6 week session, all materials included. Summertime offers week long art camp options. View the current schedule online.
These pink poodles are from a 4 year old girl's birthday party where she and her friends learned together how to draw and paint "pink poodles and rainbows," subject matter that the birthday girl chose herself! If you have a group and you'd like a one-time art lesson, consider planning an art party at Kaleidoscope. You can choose your own theme or rely on instructor recommendations. Parties are subject to classroom and instructor availability and are often held on the weekends. Call for a party brochure: (847)381-4840. Price range $125-$220.
I enjoy creating in a variety of medias: watercolor, oil, acrylic, pastel, graphite, ink, and clay sculpture. Sometimes I work really small like in 5 X 7 watercolors, other times I work large, painting full wall murals in acrylic. My favorite media is chalk pastel. Although portraiture is my favorite subject matter, I find myself drawing lots of animals in my classes because children love to draw animals!
I strive to make art class a safe place, free from bullies and harsh criticism, where students have permission to make mistakes and excel at their own levels. I want students to enjoy using their minds and hands as they learn new skills and explore new tools to create masterpieces worthy of framing and deserving of praise.
When kids have fun drawing and also feel rewarded by the quality of their own work, then they will continue drawing. When kids continue drawing, their drawing gets better!
Art gives kids a sense of pride and confidence in their own abilities as well as value to their self-expression. As observation skills and creativity are nurtured, students gain artistic wisdom that will only be an asset to whatever life and career paths they choose.

This gallery is filled with some of my teacher's samples from years of teaching children's art. This will give you an indication of what lessons I've taught and what quality you can expect from my future lessons. If you are interested in purchasing any of these teacher samples, they are available by mail order for $30 or by direct pick up from the school for $25, subject to availabililty. Inquire by email for availablity. Dimensions are commonly 16 X 20, but may vary slightly. Art was generated by teaching classrooms of children and may contain slight imperfections and are sold as is with no refunds as they are considered discounted sale items. No child's artwork will be available for sale, teacher's samples only.
I would love to hear from you since you visited my website!
