If I were to educate my children all over again, I would engage Carla Schaareman to teach them lessons in the fine arts. For 13 years I observed her masterful teaching at our high school. The paintings and drawings by her students were often exceptional and even in demand for exhibition at local public venues. Carla is beloved by her students because she tunes-in to them individually, and because she brings an abundance of creative ideas—such as scratchboard techniques, or portraits in collage. My favorite was watching her inspire the entire 9^th grade class in reproducing Picasso’s Guernica, assembling each student’s portion into a striking and powerful whole. This was a meaningful social exercise, which went above and beyond artistic achievement. Carla has deep pockets of art theory and practice, because of her classical art training in Europe, combined with Waldorf teacher training, and decades of working with all ages of children. Don’t miss an opportunity for your child to work artistically with Carla!
