LET YOUR TALENT SHINE! Art for Kids Minimize

     
is a program at Alleluia! in the fine arts.  Our focus is on the child's creative self-expression through art in a constructive, relaxed, and fun atmosphere.  Students will explore different types of art media, art styles, as well as famous artists and their work.  They will be introduced to the basics of composition, values, colors, and most importantly, have a great time creating art.
 

Each child works at his/her own pace, receiving help and assistance as needed. As with all of our classes, we provide a loving, Christian environment, affirming and nourishing the whole child.  We encourage excellence in a supporting and accepting atmosphere.  Each session concludes with an Art Show displaying the works each student has created.  Family and friends are encouraged to attend.

Merike Adams is a professional artist and educator with many years of teaching experience.  She has taught in public schools, worked as an art instructor for a private enterprise, and is currently giving private art lessons in small groups.  Merike believes that art contributes to the development of creativity and motor skills in young children, and that art is a great way of self expression for older children.  Merike is a member of the Naperville Art League where she frequently shows her oil paintings.  Furthermore, she has designed the sceneries for stage plays, and has participated several times in the Naperville United Way summer sculpture charity event with her mosaic projects.
