Private and Small Group Art Instruction in Florence

Toddlers to teens can experience art instruction in an inspiring and creative environment. I am a passionate and patient art instructor with over 12 years of teaching experience. My private and small group art lessons can be customized for students of all ages. Developing art skills have been proven to help improve focus, concentration, hand-eye coordination, decision making, problem solving, confidence, creativity, and self-esteem, while providing a sense of accomplishment. Students are shown new skills and techniques, and their own creativity and ideas are provided with the space to be nurtured.

ArtStart: This is an arts & crafts class that is for ages 2-6.
The children explore different mediums and materials and make projects using a variety of techniques.
Projects are unique and involve some recycling and it's just as much fun for the parents!
Please look below at samples of past projects and some of the students in action!
Classes are 50 euro a month (12,50 a class) and this includes 4 weeks of classes and all supplies.
*There are discounts for multiple children within one family.

Studio A: This is an art lesson course for ages 7 & up.
Students are paired in their same age group or privately for learning the basic art skills. The basics start off in drawing and move into advanced drawing skills and then painting. Students learn how to keep a sketchbook. Classes allow students freedom for creativity and individuality.
Lessons are 60 euro a month (15,00 a class) and this includes 4 weeks of lessons
*There is a supply fee involved so each student has his/her own supplies. A supply kit can be customized based on level and course length, ranging from 10,00 Euro to 50,00 Euro.
