I love art because it’s fun to be creative, and Art Time for Kids has the best art projects in Fredericksburg. I have been going to their art and music classes since I was two years old. They also have homeschool classes. Claire Ellinger is the owner of Art Time for Kids, which started as a small group of children meeting in her house until she opened up classes in the building downtown in 2017.

 

One of my favorite classes was when we made cat art and even got to do an obstacle course in the class. I also like when Ms. Claire shows us paintings by other artists.

 

Ms. Claire has been doing art since she was a little girl. “I love this artist named Sandy Skoglund, and she makes big installation art with animals, and she covers things in popcorn, and she does really silly, funny things where she puts unexpected things together,” Ms. Claire said.

 

Ms. Claire said her favorite thing about running Art Time for Kids is seeing kids enjoy the effort she puts in to the space and the classes. “It is hard work, but hard work can feel really good when you get to see it and be proud,” she said.
