Each class will be capped at 12 students to allow for individual attention. We only offer full-day programming during February Vacation week. All instruction will take place inside the Eliot Schoolhouse. Lunch will take place two blocks down Eliot Street at Eliot Hall (7A Eliot Street). If the weather allows, students will have outdoor play time in the Schoolyard during their snack and lunch breaks. 

Visual Arts (Morning Instruction)

For young artists who want to concentrate on specific skills in drawing, painting, and other 2D media. Students will improve their use of line, value, tone, color, proportion, depth, composition and more. They’ll explore a variety of materials and techniques while developing personal expression.

Mixed Media (Afternoon Instruction)

A multi-media class for kids who love art and want to have fun! Students will explore a variety of approaches, mediums, and techniques. They’ll learn the basics of composition, pattern, line, texture, scale, color, shading, and contrast through projects inspired by imagination and observation. Media may include sculpture, wearable art, mosaic, acrylic, collage, pastel, print making, and comics.

I have done art all my life, having graduated from Boston Arts Academy and Lesley University. I have been with the Eliot School for nearly ten years, starting as a teaching assistant in 2015 and becoming a teacher in 2021. I have taught ages 4 to 18 in a variety of arts, with the desire to see anyone—from anywhere—embrace their creativity to its fullest extent.
