"My son was engaged and excited for every lesson. Jennie is an amazing teacher providing the fundamentals of art: line, form, shape, composition and color. She also does something that I feel is huge for budding artists- she fosters the student's ability and doesn't pressure them into a certain style, which creates confidence and self expression."
Alex, Parent

"Jennie de Mello e Souza came to my class of first graders and spent an hour, not only showing them some “tricks of the artist trade”, but gracefully inspiring them to do some intricate drawing and water coloring. She had a natural way with the children, and a fine ability to guide and praise them while helping them to create some beautiful work. Imagine first graders working with a two inch square piece of paper! They were delighted and rose to the occasion. I would recommend her to anyone looking for someone who can teach and instill the magic of art."
Jane P., Teacher

"Not only is Jennie a wonderful and talented art teacher. She is also a kind and caring person. My kids loved their lessons with Jennie and both left with more confidence in art that they had going in. I would definitely recommend Jennie's classes to anyone!"
Anna G., parent

"My daughter loved taking classes with Jennie. She learned so much about different types of artwork, artists and art history. Jennie always had a new and fun project but always added depth and context which really made it more than just an art class."
​Laura Z., parent

"In Jennie's class, we were taught important concepts. I loved being in her class where I learned serious art and not arts and crafts." Julia, student

“The class met all my expectations in both subject matter and quality of teaching.  P. and I had lots of fun, but we also felt that we had learned a great deal, and were provided the opportunity to create our own art pieces based on what we had learned.” 

 “It was wonderful to learn about the art pieces from both our instructors and I was especially impressed with Ms. de Mello's ability to work with young people.”
