Art Explorers Painting Program

 

Let the Adventure Begin!

You may have gotten a sense that this is no ordinary painting class. It isn't. This is a program with a cultural theme, where your child creates art that is inspired by different countries, allowing for a variety of styles and settings to be explored. This assures that your child is always excited and challenged in a way that is fun - and - dare I say it - educational, too!

The Art Explorers Painting Program is designed for children ages 6 - 9 to introduce them to a number of core concepts, tips and skills which I employed in my work as a muralist. Using these newfound skills allows them to feel confident and proud as a budding artist in a matter of a few short weeks - and often within the first session or two!

You'd may surprised at how quickly your child can pick up skills that one might think are reserved only for seasoned 'grown-up' artists. Using these methods in expands your child's creative ability. Coming home with finished artwork on canvas builds confidence, self esteem, and smiles - from the inside out.

Ready for your child to embark on an artistic journey filled with wonder, imagination, and endless creativity?
"Art Explorers" is the perfect painting class designed exclusively for kids aged 8-11, where students get to explore the world through art and unlock their inner artist.


The Adventure Begins:

Upon your child's arrival at the very first session, they'll be handed a special passport - the gateway to a world of artistic exploration. After each exciting painting session, this passport will be stamped, creating a sense of adventure that kids absolutely love.

Discover the World, One Stroke at a Time:

Each session kicks off with a delightful discussion about a new country to be explored that week. Then, the real fun begins as our young artists embark on an exciting painting session inspired by the chosen country. For example, when we 'tour' Italy, we'll paint a gondola on the Grand Canal in Venice.
 

Explore Diverse Destinations:

Our Art Explorers will journey to captivating countries such as Israel, France, Italy, China, Africa, Japan, and Australia. It's a cultural adventure through colors and creativity like no other.


P.U.M.T. Technique:

 Your child will discover the P.U.M.T. technique (Painting Using Mural Techniques). They will apply this technique to canvas (9"x11") to create beautiful works of art. Lessons are tailored to be age-appropriate, allowing your child to develop their artistic skills and learn how to bring unique images to life through painting methods used for mural creation. With our expert guidance, they'll be amazed at what they can achieve and take immense pride in their creations.

No Additional Supply Fees:

We provide all the necessary supplies, ensuring a hassle-free and enjoyable experience for your child. Just make sure they've had dinner before class, because a satisfied student is a happy (and productive) artist!

About the Artist - Instructor


Shalom, I'm Leia, (same as Leah) and I'm thrilled to introduce myself as the artist and instructor behind "Art Explorers." With over two decades of experience as a professional mural painter, I've had the privilege of creating captivating mural artworks in private residences across New York, New Jersey, and California. My portfolio also includes the creation of two expansive Judaic murals in the RYNJ elementary school, situated near the vibrant community of Teaneck, New Jersey.

One of my joyful accomplishments is the development of the P.U.M.T.™ technique. This innovative approach empowers students with the fundamental skills necessary for mural painting, which can be seamlessly transferred to canvas. The result? Impressive and awe-inspiring artwork that our young artists can take pride in, all within a relatively short period of time. Click here to view murals from my mural portfolio.

As a Jewish mother and grandmother, I am blessed to be enriched with a warm, caring, and an uplifting spirit. I understand the importance of creating a nurturing and supportive environment for your child. My goal extends beyond teaching your child to paint; it's about fostering a space where they believe in their own abilities, even if they've never picked up a paintbrush before.

I'm passionate about inspiring creativity, fostering self-belief, and creating a sense of adventure for your child. Together, we will embark on a magical journey of self-expression through art, one brushstroke at a time. I can't wait to share this incredible experience with your child and watch them flourish as young artists.

Join "Art Explorers" and let's make art a part of your child's life!

Note: When you register your child you will havre the option to join my complimentary newsletter, where you will receive occasional (weekly or monthly)  emails related to my artistic journey and creations. Of course, you can opt out anytime (I never spam!!) however if you appreciate art, positivity and creativity, then you may love being in my creative circle!
B'Ahava, Leia

The Hope Collection:

Inspired by Judaic prayers and Tehillim / Psalms. 

During times of challenge as well as transition there is nothing like prayer to calm the mind, soothe the soul and provide much needed hope and inner peace. 

Follow my journey as I embarked upon a new artventure - creating a collection of paintings inspired by prayers and traditions of my Jewish heritage.

Release date to be announced.

Breath of Being

Breath of Being is the first painting in this series. Inspired by the Hebrew prayer of Nishmas Kol Chai / Nishmat - a prayer of heartfelt praise and gratitude to Our Creator. Affirmation for meditation: I Am Grateful

40"x40" Acrylic and Metal on Canvas

Aquired

"Saying the Nishmas prayer puts me in a space I'd love to stay in all day - one of connection, gratitude, trust and presence. Workin' on it!"

Can you spot the highlighted words depicted within the painting?

...If ocean-full our mouth were with music

Our tongues singing like the ceaseless surf

Our lips praising You to the skies

Oureyes blazing like sun and moon

Our arms spread like soaring eagles

Our legs sprinting like those of deers

We could not thank You enough...

Hint for 'music': search for the ancient harp (x4)

Vines of Valour

Inspired by the prayer Aishet Chayil from Proverbs, which which praises the woman. Traditionally sung Friday Night, followed by the Shabbat meal. 40"x40" Acrylic on Canvas.

Inquire

Here I acknowledge the woman who does her best to stay afloat. Defying the odds, she keeps hope and happiness alive, both in her home, and in the hearts of countless others.

This one's for you.

In the creation of this painting I was inspired by the following lines from Aishet Chayil:

1. ...Far beyond pearls is her value. 

2. …from the fruit of her handiwork she plants a vineyard.

3. ...She senses that her enterprise is good, so her lamp is not extinguished at night.

4. ...She spreads out her palm to the poor and extends her hands to the destitute.  - Hint: (The grape-leaves are not what they seem.)

5. Strength and splendor are her clothing.

6. She opens her mouth with Wisdom, and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. 

7. Give her the fruit of her hands, and she will be praised at the gates by her very own deeds.

💜Thank You💜

With love and appreciation to Shayna Chamish for gifting me with the Nishmas card created by Charlene Aminoff. My having it handy led me to include it in my daily prayers, and doing so has enriched my life.
