Open Studio Art Events
Vivo Art offers Open Studio Art Events for children during the Flagler County school year, held twice a year. These events are exclusively for children enrolled in the studio who attend classes regularly. Designed to explore new techniques and various art media, these activities provide a fun and creative outlet for young artists!
We Teach Art!
Learning new art techniques can be an exciting and enriching experience that opens up fresh avenues for creativity. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced artist, exploring different methods enhances your skills and inspires new ideas. Each technique introduces you to new materials and tools, allowing for experimentation and helping you discover what works best for you. For instance, trying out watercolor can teach you about color blending and transparency, while acrylics might offer lessons in layering and texture.
Engaging with diverse techniques encourages you to think outside the box. Incorporating collage into your paintings can lead to innovative compositions, while exploring digital art might inspire you to merge traditional and modern styles. As you learn, you’ll start to identify what resonates with you, helping to develop a unique artistic voice that reflects your personal vision and message.
The process of learning often comes with challenges, but overcoming these obstacles can be incredibly rewarding. Each hurdle you face builds resilience and problem-solving skills, which are invaluable in both art and life. Workshops and classes provide opportunities to connect with other artists, share experiences, and gain feedback, fostering a supportive community that enhances your learning.
Art is a constantly evolving field, and staying curious keeps your practice vibrant. The journey of learning new techniques is not just about improving your craft; it’s also about personal growth, self-expression, and forming connections with others who share your passion.

Learning Art
Learning art offers a wealth of benefits for children, enriching their development in numerous ways. Engaging in artistic activities fosters creativity, allowing children to express themselves and explore their imaginations. This creative outlet encourages innovative thinking and problem-solving skills, as they learn to visualize concepts and find unique solutions to artistic challenges.
Art education also enhances fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. Activities like drawing, painting, and sculpting require precise movements, helping children develop dexterity and control over their movements. These skills are crucial not only for art but also for everyday tasks and academic activities like writing.
Additionally, participating in art can boost children’s confidence and self-esteem. Completing a piece of artwork provides a sense of accomplishment, and positive feedback from peers and teachers reinforces their belief in their abilities. This confidence can extend beyond art, influencing their performance in other areas of life.
Art encourages emotional development as well. It provides a safe space for children to express their feelings and thoughts, helping them understand and manage their emotions. Through art, children can explore complex themes and express experiences that they may not yet have the words to articulate.
Social skills are also enhanced through collaborative art projects, where children learn to communicate, share ideas, and work together. These experiences promote teamwork and empathy, as they navigate different perspectives and learn to appreciate the contributions of others.
Finally, exposure to art enriches cultural awareness and appreciation. Learning about different artistic styles and traditions helps children understand diverse perspectives and histories, fostering a sense of global awareness.
