Inspire, Encourage, Create
Quality art instruction is now available in the Carson Valley. As the owner of the new Carson Valley Art Center, I would like to introduce myself, and ask that you consider the variety of classes offered in studio as a positive addition to your home school experience. For the last 8 years I have served as head of the fine arts department at Monte Vista Christian School overseeing all aspects of drawing, painting, and ceramics instruction. This work included writing UC approved curriculum, teaching, and ordering supplies for all three sections of the AP Portfolio. In addition, I homeschooled my own children, and have charter school experience as a vendor and instructor. Most of all, I love seeing people find enjoyment in their exploration of the creative side of life.
As a complete art studio and classroom, CVAC offers the following instruction: drawing, painting, and ceramics, including 4 wheels and a production kiln. A variety of classes are offered at differing times, with drawing and painting accommodating 20-25 students, and 15 students in ceramics classes. Classes will meet once a week for 1.5 to two hours each session.
