| About Art Smart and Carola |
Art Smart studio for kids is built upon the belief that inside every child
is an artist just waiting to get out. All children have imagination,
creativity, a sense of design and a desire to explore. These natural
characteristics are enhanced and further developed in Art Smart Studio
classes. In our classes, children will develop fine motor skills,
concentration, planning, cognition and more, all while having fun! The
success each child experiences builds confidence and self-esteem.

We promote a happy, fun learning environment where children will
be introduced to a variety of materials, methods and ideas. The
children are then encouraged to draw, doodle, paint, construct and
expand their creative horizons without tracing or copying.

Inside The Artist Studio
For three weeks in April, local artists invite the community inside their studios as part of the new Arts
Council for Long Beach program titled Inside the Artist’s Studio. “The program is designed to bridge the gap
between local artists and the community they serve,” states Kenton Haleem, Director of Arts Learning for
the Arts Council. As a community outreach program it invites students from nearby schools to tour the
studio during the day and the featured artists co-hosts adult tours with the Arts Council in the evening. The
program provides the artist an opportunity to engage people on an up-close and personal level with his/her
body of work.
