Art Makes You Smart!
Fan Mail!
Robin encouraged my son to get messy, try new things, and have fun. I loved watching him explore colors, textures, and his own approach to each project. He couldn't wait to take his materpieces home to display proudly and talk about!

My 3 year old loved attending Robin's art classes! Each week she led creative explorations that included different types of paints, collages, textures and colors. She even aligned some projects to the work of famous children's authors. Getting messy and hands on was encouraged! My sons favorite activity was painting with potatoes, peppers and sponges! I would highly recommend her classes!
