Curriculum
Young Rembrandts is the art program with a difference. We teach drawing, the fundamental skill of all visual arts.
Young Rembrandts' acclaimed step-by-step drawing method teaches children to break down complex objects into basic foundational shapes. As they learn how to draw, the experience, repetition and variety of engaging and relevant subject matter brings them to increased levels of mastery in drawing - and in life.

"I observed a new teacher 2 weeks ago. She taught the Alien Faces cartoon lesson and the class was very excited and thought that the Aliens were fun to draw. Toward the end of class a second grade boy said,"This is the best day of my whole life!" A third grade girl said to him,"What about tomorrow?" The boy said,"Tomorrow won't be as good." It was a great class to observe and the teacher did an excellent job.
