Rave Reviews from Kids
"I have everything fun in KidzArt. It's very fun everyday! If you make a mistake, it doesn't matter. You can change it to something else." Marissa, 2nd Grade, Antelope Creek Elementary, Rocklin, Ca
"KidzArt is really really fun and to do art you have to do really hard things that you've never done before." Amanda, 1st Grade, Spanger Elementary, Roseville, Ca
"I like doing art!" Jacob, 1st Grade, Antelope Creek Elementary, Rocklin, Ca
Rave Reviews from Parents
"I wanted to thank you for the few days my granddaughter was able to attend your class. She had a wonderful time. Now all she does is draw frogs!! Again, I thank you from Cimone [age 8] and myself." Adeline Castro-Eaton, Roseville, Ca
On our children's benefit art auction: "She's showing at the gallery. That doesn't happen everyday!"
On the KidzArt program: "She brought it to me and said 'this looks very interesting. Could I please do this afterschool?'...This really has brought [art] out in her and she says 'Make sure we get there ten minutes early. I want to make sure I get it done.'" Deb Rosenfield, mother of Robyn, 3rd Grade, Rocklin, Ca
"To the wonderful people at KidzArt, just wanted to thank you for offering such a great program for children. My daughters love art and I feel that it's been pushed to the backburner in schools today. We loved your program and look forward to taking more." Valerie Moorhouse, mother of Lauren, age 8, Rocklin, Ca
On KidzArt: "It was a big jump in what she was able to do, what we saw coming home and being willing to listen to instruction. This the first time she was in an organized [art] class. It's hard for us to get out to classes. It was nice for it to be at the school site. It is her escape. We're definitely going to continue because she's enjoying it so much."
Jessie Graustein, mother of Megan, 4th Grade, Rocklin, Ca
Rave Reviews from Principals
"It's nice to be able to offer an after-school program. Children are getting experience with different art mediums which is really nice because schools don't often have the potential to do that." Principal Jodi Westphal, Spanger Elementary, Roseville, Ca
From 9/8/06 Press-Tribune article: "... he wants as many after-school opportunities for kids as possible. Even though the district offers art classes, KidzArt classes were full and attendance never dropped." Principal Matt Murphy, Antelope Creek Elementary School, Rocklin, Ca
Rave Reviews from the Community
On co-sponsoring the KidzArt Benefit Art Auction: "It was jovial, celebratory, fun and interesting. I got to talk to lots of little artists. I don't get to do that everyday. Very cool!" Diedre Trudeau, Owner, Artful Blend Gallery, Roseville, Ca
