Kids Art Program
This summer, I designed these art projects for Sweet Arts Studio, especially when we are all stuck here, amid the current global crisis, and our priority is to stay safe and healthy. My hope is to drive our creativity even more powerfully and positively in this different and difficult time.
Quarantine Little Me
Summer was usually about sun, fun, and outdoor activities unless the world is burdened with the epidemic. But we’re also, and always, embraced by the universe of imagination. This project is to help kids discover that creating is a daring adventure that can take you anywhere! It turns out you can create art everywhere!
Suggested materials - 1 piece of paper, pencils, erasers, rulers, scissors, colored pencils, and any preferred coloring materials.
Suggested age group - 8 and up
From Shapes to Landscapes
Don’t you miss the parks and all those hills in San Francisco? Even we are restricted from getting out there, but you get all the freedom to build your own city. This project is to create a full cityscape with basic shapes and colors of your choice.
Suggested Materials - 1 piece of paper, pencils, erasers, rulers, and any preferred coloring materials. This project includes one template.
Suggested Age group - 5 and up
What’s on Your Family Wall
Now it feels like we have been staying home forever… If you could decorate the wall, what would it have? In this project, students would be experimenting with negative and positive spaces to create colorful family portraits .
Suggested Materials - 1 piece of paper, and any preferred coloring materials. We won’t need pencils and erasers this time. Let’s go ahead with colors!

It’s My Recipe
My cookies come in all kinds of shapes and sizes, and so do all those kitchen supplies! This project includes a step-by-step activity for younger artists. We will learn how to break down each object into simple shapes and draw every ingredient! This is also designed for more experienced students who want to add details and exciting sparks into their illustration.
