Happy Birthday Rembrandt van Rijn!
In 1988 I started a business with a very clever name – Bette’s Art Classes.
A couple of years and a few hundred classes later, it was time to get a real name for my business.
Young Rembrandts Annual Conference
I live in a bubble. A lovely bubble. And every once in awhile I am reminded just how lovely it is. My most recent reminder came last week at the Young Rembrandts Annual Conference, where I spent three days with the most joyful, determined, passionate group of individuals.
Kids Need Art!
I started Young Rembrandts in 1988, it has now become a recognized leader in art education. Drawing with Young Rembrandts develops the whole brain and the whole child. Children are visual, physical and auditory beings.

Summer is Here! Now what…?
Summer Vacation has finally arrived and while we all deserve a break from hectic schedules and homework, we need to keep our kids active. A lot can happen over summer to help build a child’s mind – but left unattended, a great deal of what’s been learned last year can be lost. Summer is the perfect time to experiment with different kinds of learning for different learning styles; all while keeping it light and having fun.
How a Prickly Cactus Gives Me the Sweetest Sentiment
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.
