Weekend DOODLE ART For Kids: We couldn't just let the adults have all the fun! Doodle Art With the same step-by-step instruction method, Doodle Art is a great virtual art event for youth ages 5 and up. Many U.S. schools across our country are having a hard time keeping art classes in the annual budget if at all, but we know how important creativity is for a growing mind. Weekly (2hr) Doodle Art not only instructs young artists, it also helps instill confidence in the budding artists in all of us! Painting and socializing in the comfort and safety of your own home or office while your artwork has a little time to dry is just perfect! Parents are encouraged to join in the 2 hours creating a memory with your child/children ,or enjoy observing your young artist in the creative process. One of the presenting artist Shameka Best was interviewed by Kareem McMichael on September 27 on the show The Art of Health and Wellness by Evey Williamson and you can listen to the interview here: https://bit.ly/33cRQw4 Presenting Artist: Ms. L. Shameka Best From finger paint to sidewalk chalk a single thought created a work of art. At the age of 37 L. Shameka Best is no stranger to turning blank canvas into masterpieces or conceiving memories to visual art. Born in Savannah but raised in the Bronx, life experience has taught her a lot. Art is her passion. Countless hours spent creating seductive, abstract, yet versatile portraits pass by so rapid. Life is a big enigma that sometimes seems better when it's viewed by another pair of eyes. Her art is so transparent no explanation is needed. Like an author, but not with words a story is told through each brush stroke. With clear minds and eyes I present to some and introduce to others, a talented and phenomenal artist. - Ms. Latifah Shameka Best.
