do you think it would be a good idea to look at an art school around here for a college student to come a couple hours one or two days a week for art lessons? my four year old and 6 year old really want some sort of art class, but i don't really want to send them out to a teacher just yet. any suggestions where to look? what schools? any ideas?

i prefer to wait until they are a little bit older, i would rather save some of the money and bring in a student to the house and see if the kids are serious about it before we get too dedicated to another new activity [ Reply | More
