A positive review from you is the best possible advertising we could have. If your child had an especially good time, we would really appreciate it if you could share it with other Seattle parents on the Go City Kids or YELP! websites.


What some of our fans are saying about us….

I had been wanting to sign my kids up for an Early Masters class for some time and I am so glad it finally worked out. If only every art program could pay such close attention to detail like this! Shelley has 2 young kids of her own so she know just the amount of encouragement and praise to make each young artist feel confident and able to tap into their own inner Picasso. My children simply loved everything about this class and will certainly be returning soon. My only worry is that everyone will find out how cool Early Masters is and there will be no room in the class! Submitted by Lisa Levine added: 06/29/2010

My son, who is all boy, cannot stop talking about art class. He loves it! My son has some fine motor problems and I approached this art class as one more means for him to work with and strengthen his hands. I have gotten so much more than that. We are talking about art; the art on our own walls, the walls of friends and family, the art in books and at school. He is quick to point out something he knows about an artist or a painting. How amazing it is that I am having conversations with my 7 year old that most people don't have until college...if ever. I am thrilled he is part of this school and I hope it will be a part of our lives for years to come! Submitted by Nicki Galipeau 4/23/10

My daughter attended the MLK day Early Masters this week. She is a little bit reticent in strange environments and she came home just glowing with her painting (Migration Series # 58) and so proud, and bubbling with information about Jacob Lawrence. I cried when I saw her painting! Shelley is a wonderful teacher, who wrote with a photo & feedback the next day. We'll definitely sign up again. Submitted by Kelli 1/19/10

My 7 year old daughter just finished this camp (the 1 week Impressionists) and I am thrilled! She loved it, learned a lot, and her paintings surprised even me (her biggest fan and agent!). But the best thing about this camp is the teacher, Shelley. When it comes to teaching and understanding children, either you have it or you don't- and Shelley has some to spare! Basically, she empowered my daughter to see artistic expression as a form of self expression- and that is a lifelong skill she will appreciate forever. I really recommend Early Masters!

My daughter attended two summer camps and loved them. She lived the Impressionists, painting water lilies at the Arboretum and learning how radical they were compared to their predecessors. She met Vincent Van Gogh and learned to mash vibrant color on canvas. Shelley is an engaging and encouraging teacher. You won't be disappointed.  Submitted by Anne Petersen 7/25/09

This was hands down the best camp I have ever sent my child to. In one short week she went from "hating art" to drawing in her room every day. She now truly loves art and can't wait to go back to camp and learn more.  Submitted by Kellie 5/28/09
