There’s been a lot of noise on social media lately about coloring books designed for adults. They are supposed to help us relax and leave the world behind as we get out our colored pencils, leave the stress of daily life behind and enjoy time spent coloring.
I am so excited to be speaking at the Wisconsin Afterschool Association’s Annual conference this weekend. I will be doing three sessions related to the importance of afterschool programming and how we can use it to give creative outlets to our right-brain thinkers as well as expand the skill sets of left-brain thinkers in order to boost academic performance for all students.

Local Kids ActivitiesYoung Rembrandts drawing classes and summer workshops allow kids to be creative and explore specific subject matter in a safe, playful environment. Our students make huge advances in their drawing skills…
Young Rembrandts’ curriculum is designed so a child can be enrolled from pre-school to sixth grade and never repeat a lesson. This allows our students to continually build skills and develop their personal style and creativity.
There are visible academic and art benefits for children that participate in our program. Young Rembrandts’ students have fun while developing fundamental art literacy and improved academic abilities.

One of my favorite lessons of all time is about to be drawn in Young Rembrandts classrooms all across the country. It’s called – Cacti. 
You’ve heard me talk about this lesson before. My son Matt’s drawing, (pictured here) done many years ago, is still a personal favorite and hangs in my home and office.
Young Rembrandts students should be completing this piece sometime in the VERY near future so keep an eye out when they come home with their version of this masterpiece. This particular lesson requires a tremendous amount of time, focus and patience, especially when drawing, coloring and adding so many teeny tiny spines all over the cacti. We hope you will take special notice and appreciate your child’s creativity and hard work.
