History:

We've been in the NW Denver region for 5+ years teaching drawing to kids and have developed a loyal following. Young Rembrandts began over 20 years ago in Illinois, having organically grown from the principals of Maria Montessori. We use a step by step method that assures every student is a creative success. As children learn and use technical drawing skills, they discover that all complex objects can be broken down into familiar shapes; then use problem solving skills, innovation, and imagination to put them all together into eye-popping masterpieces!

Program Highlights:

Using our unique 20+ year method students will also improve their fine motor skills, patience levels, focus and ability to stay on task. Best of all, they'll gain a new found confidence in a skill they never knew existed - the ability to say "I can do it!" And yes, all that learning comes with a big bunch of fun.

Activities:

After school drawing classes as well as specialty workshops.

Program Information:

 Young Rembrandts is the art program with a difference. We teach drawing, the fundamental skill of all visual arts. 

Young Rembrandts' acclaimed step-by-step drawing method teaches children to break down complex objects into basic foundational shapes. As they learn how to draw, the experience, repetition and variety of engaging and relevant subject matter brings them to increased levels of mastery in drawing - and in life.
