Emma is inspiring and has a wonderful upbeat disposition. She taught techniques my daughter will carry with her for the rest of her lifetime! The art work that was created in the two weeks varied in techniques and mediums. It was a very personal atmosphere even though every participant is located in their homes. Amazingly well done!

About Ms. Whitaker’s Art Room

Moving Art Camp Online

For the past 2 years, I have loved running a local summer art program. We make art, listen to music, have dance parties, and get to know each other. The art room is a bastion of fun and excitement.

As we move online, I am determined to create the summer camp experience that the children deserve. This is why I have decided to limit enrollment to 7 children, so that we can get to know one another and I can provide individualized attention for your child. Most importantly, we will have FUN together… that’s what summer is all about!

My kids have learned so much from Ms. Whitaker over the years. She has an intuitive way of engaging the kids and I appreciate her fun, calm, but energetic, engaged demeanor.

Art is so much fun! I love making art and being creative with you. I even like it better since we are doing it on Zoom. Drawing the Candy City was so fun. Thank you for being the best art teacher ever. And you’re silly, too!
