"Every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain one after growing up." -- Picasso

Art for All offers classes for children aimed at all levels of a child's artistic development. Our classes provide private, individual instruction through very small classes. We encourage children to think creatively and experiment with techniques in all art forms. We engage children in art by introducing them to artists throughout history. Our unique courses offered are as follows; Cave Paintings to Picasso; Art of Africa; Pop Art; Abstract Expressionists; Impressionism; The Renaissance; and Surrealism to name a few.Our goal is to promote original thinking, problem-solving and self-expression. Classes will utilize a variety of media, including pencil, charcoal, pastels, acrylic paints, collage, print making, mobile making, and sculpture. We will host classes outdoors, using nature as our subject matter. Towards the end of each semester the students are invited to join us for a museum tour to preview the artwork studied in class. Children will conduct a critique of their work during our last session.
All classes will be taught by professional artist Elizabeth Moore Arnold, who will share a lifetime of experience as an artist in all media. She has a Bachelors in Fine Arts coupled with Art Education at the Museum of Fine Arts, Glassell School of Art. Elizabeth established Art for All in 2006, and expanded to Chapelwood Methodist Church in 2009. She will be combining her love of children and her passion for arts at Art for All. Unless parents request otherwise, each class will begin with a brief prayer session.

NEW! Art for All now also offers classes for adults, as well! Lindsay Peyton and Lisa Stallones, both professional artists, will be teaching our exciting classes. We provide all of your supplies. RESERVATIONS must be made in advance and space is limited!

Lindsay Peyton's works in oil, pastels, charcoal and ink have been featured in numerous group and solo shows in galleries and arts festivals as well as auctions in support of Haitian relief efforts, the Italian Consulate, Avenue CDC, and the Leukemia Foundation. Most recently, her works were shown at Canal Street Gallery, McWhorter Gallery, and Winter Street Studios. Peyton also serves on the Artist Advisory Board of Spacetaker and teaches private and group art lessons. A Houston native who spent her childhood on the East Coast, she is a photojournalism graduate of the University of Texas at Austin. In addition to painting, Lindsay is an avid photographer. Her photos were featured as part of Houston's 2008 FotoFest and have been published by various clients, among them The Woodlands Symphony Orchestra, Elves & More, Cowboy Solution, and Susan Love Fitts Public Relations.

Lisa Stallones works primarily in acrylics and mixed media. She uses images created by her own language of symbols to tell stories based on real and fantastical experiences. Lately, her work has focused on the celebrations of life. Lisa is a native Houstonian and earned a BFA in Metalsmithing from Texas State University. She teaches art part time at KIPP Sharp and has taken numerous continuing education art classes. Her work has been published in Home and Garden's Decorating book and is displayed in many client's homes throughout the United States.
