Just us grown-ups on this night: Enjoy drinks and light food with other adults. We will follow along to Bob Ross's program and actually create the intended painting. (Can we really do that?) Canvas, paint, brushes, etc. provided by Art Time for Kids. This event is for the serious artist and the silly artist. We will have fun and unwind, and you decide how serious you want to make the art project!
Prizes (keep your expectation low,) for the best and the best try will be awarded (people's choice!)
Convince a friend or your partner to come, or just come alone and meet new friends.

Hello! I am the owner of Art Time for Kids, and also a teacher. I graduated from UMW with a studio arts degree, as well as a Masters of Education. I worked at an alternative ed school here in Fredericksburg and also taught Middle School Art at A.G. Wright in Stafford County.
I love teaching Art, which is why I grew this business out of my own home when my two boys were babies! Bringing Art History to toddlers was my first focus and challenge for Art Time for Kids, and I am proud of how much we have grown.
I occasionally find time to create my own artwork when I am not helping young students create Art. I enjoy painting and sewing. I satisfy my creative urge by watching young children enjoy art. Researching and adapting Art History for the youngest students is very satisfying for me!

My name is Tanya Green. I am a local artist and former Stafford County Public Schools art teacher. I have a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Graphic Design with a concentration in Visual Communication as well as a Masters degree in Education. Currently, I’m working as a painter and muralist which sometimes take a back seat to the many hats I wear as a mother and wife.
For 13 years I taught art to elementary through middle school aged children. I’m excited to join the Art Time 4 Kids team and get back into the classroom, so to speak. I love seeing the individual growth of artists as they try new techniques and explore different media. I’m passionate about helping kids see the world around them in new ways and that they’re all capable of creating art in their own way. It’s pretty rewarding to see their smiles to a job well done.
