Kids Art Turned Into Toys!

A friend posted this on my facebook today.  Toys that are made based off of children's drawings.  It inspired  me and reminded me how cool and creative kids drawings really are!

My Art Studio- Currently Under Rennovation

My art studio is currently being remodeled to make it more kid friendly.  This means some major renovations are happening at the studio and it will be closed to our students this summer.  Of course, the children will still have lots of art in store for them, just in a different location.

The studio should be up and running again sometime after the summer and into the school year.  Looking forward to the new space!  In the meantime, I'll be sure to post any updates.

Studio Updates & Plans for the Summer Program

The weather is getting nicer, and school is almost out! That means there will be much more time for art with the kids...

During the school year, I teach the kids Montessori style, and occasionally we have time to work on some fine art in the after school program. However, there will be much more time for art during their summer enrichment program, and the children are all getting excited (and me, too!!). They keep asking me, "Miss Angelique, when can we go up to your studio again?" I was feeling bad every time they would ask, since I've been so busy finishing up my Montessori degree that I haven't had any extra time to take them to my studio.

For those who are just reading my blog for the first time, my art studio is currently located in the school which I work. It is somewhat hidden behind an office area and the children have to climb a big flight of stairs (with teacher supervision, of course) in order to reach my little loft studio space. For now it is cozy, and only about 8 kids at a time can come for lessons, but it is intimate and they feel special to be getting lessons in a real art studio.

All about the Little Wonders of Wonderland

Welcome!

My name is Angelique Buman and I am a Fine Artist who also enjoys teaching a variety of subjects to children, including but not limited to, Fine Art, Music, and educating children through the Montessori Method. I work at a Montessori School and a children's Enrichment Arts studio that collaborate well together to offer extensive opportunities of growth and enrichment for each child. Recently, I have opened up my art studio to teach small group Fine Art lessons to the children who attend these programs. This has already served as a great and creative outlet for the children and they look forward to having the opportunity to making real art that they can share with others.

I am respectfully treating the children like young fine artists, a.k.a. "Little Wonders of Wonderland," so that they can have a better respect and understanding of what the art world has to offer. I also started shooting professional pictures of their finished art work and the artwork is being uploaded to a new website that I just created for them. They will now be able to show off their art and their friends and family can even purchase prints of their images!
