Art Lessons
Chris Abigt has been teaching children for over 25 years. She loves every minute of it and especially enjoys seeing the delight in their eyes when they realize that they are true young artists themselves.

Chris teaches at O'Town Book's Mind's Eye Studio in Ottumwa where she holds four different sessions a year.

Summer Art Lessons

Summer Art Lessons will be starting soon at the O’Town Studio and I am looking forward to seeing you! Remember that the book store and studio have moved to the first floor of the same building. The summer session is 6 weeks long and it begins the last week of June and goes through the first week of August. Because of the varying cost of art supplies, the cost for each class is listed along with the class and that price includes supplies. Look over the following class schedule and e-mail me or call me to register for the classes you’d like to take.

Tuesdays June 29th – August 3rd
Famous Artists – This is the best class for younger kids and those who have taken only a few classes. I will be teaching about a different artist every week and we will be using a wide variety of mediums to draw and paint as if we are the artist of the day.
Class times are 10:00-11:00 / 11:15-12:15 and the cost is
$50.00

The class will be designing their own 4 foot by 8 foot Mural and will be learning the process of taking a design, working as a team and painting it on a large scale.  Class time is 1:00-2:00 and the cost is $60.00

Wednesdays June 30th – August 4th
