At Young Rembrandts, an after school enrichment program that teaches kids how to draw. The more kids we teach, the more parents ask – when are we going to teach them. So we’ve recorded a few, 2 minute, easy to follow, step by step “How To Draw” videos. Get out your pencil and paper and learn to draw a monster.
It was a rainy Saturday morning and four year old Brayden was looking for something to get busy with. He got out his crayons and drawing paper and came to find grandma. He thinks that because I can draw – I am his personal illustrator and coloring book. But instead of me doing all the drawing – we drew and colored together.
First I drew the rocket ship he wanted. Together we drew lots of circles that made the planets and far away stars in space. Then Brayden colored the rocket ship and all the planets – leaving me the dark, dark sky. He knew he left me the ‘big’ job, and was very complimentary about how well I colored. Good to know I can still impress a four year old!
Although this drawing lesson was written with kids in mind, it’s fun for adults, too. This how to draw video series is the result of teaching children how to draw in Young Rembrandts for over twenty years!

Along with being an author and speaker, I have a ‘side job’ as the CEO of Young Rembrandts Franchise, an art enrichment program for kids 3 to 12years old. After teaching thousands of children how to draw in the Chicago suburbs, we became a franchise company eleven years ago. Now, there are Program Directors across the country and internationally, that hires and train remarkable individuals to teach art to children, using the Young Rembrandts method.

Dancing with the Stars is a big hit at our house. As avid supporters of the arts we love the costumes, set and lighting design and of course the choreography and dancing. Last Tuesday night, Dancing with the Stars featured a youth dance team. The story of the Camden Sophisticated Sisters Drill Team was incredibly inspiring and a powerful example of the impact the arts have on young lives. This after school dance program is literally saving lives and bringing hope to a place there is little hope.
