taught by me
In addition to being the founder of Art Smart Creative, I have been teaching art - and self portraits - to preschoolers and adults since 2002.
I have witnessed that when taking time to create a self portrait together, we learn about ourselves, each other, and the world as a whole, making us more empathetic, compassionate, and aware human beings.
Self portraits reveal to us our capacity for joy, our detailed human quirks, and our expansive connection to ourselves and our world.
I am confident that you and your preschooler will find new delights in yourselves and each other, while developing a new skill and building a lifelong love of creativity through a simple and fun self portrait.
