| Sparks! Inc. was founded by Hopkinton residents Robin Batchelder and Nancy Barton. Both Robin and Nancy have their Masters Degrees in Fine Arts and both have been teaching for over 20 years. Our goal in art instruction is to help children develop confidence and individuality by combining practical art skills with each child’s own intuitive creative ability. By refining their competence in observation and learning to express themselves through various media, the students develop their own unique and personal sense of artistic expression. Both Robin and Nancy believe that the environment in the classroom should be one where ideas are welcomed and individual attention is always available. That is why at Sparks!, our class sizes are limited to a maximum of ten students with two instructors. Our goal is to encourage that “spark” of creativity that is within each child to grow in a safe and positive environment! |

Teen Drawing Class For Ages 13-18 Thursdays 2:30-4pm, Feb. 4 - April 8 Fee $215.00 Believe it or not, drawing is a learned discipline. This class focuses on learning the tools and skills needed in representational drawing, such as observation, line quality, composition, color theory, etc. We begin by assessing each student's ability and interest, and then work with them individually to expand themselves as artists. The excitement of rendering a realistic and well-drawn composition raises self-confidence and self-awareness. Plus - Watch for Early Release Workshops (posting soon!) |
