Imagine the sun shining, palm trees swaying, and the waves of the beaches in the state of Florida. That's right, kids! We're introducing you to the land of sunshine and oranges. But that's not all it's known for; Florida is also home to some of the most talented young sketch artists, making it the Sketching Capital of the World! Meet Shelly Sketchalot, a funny little pink flamingo with a sketch pen always ready in her feathers. Shelly is the boss of doodling and drawing in Florida and it's her mission to inspire all the kids to sketch their hearts out! She flies from one part of the state to another, lands on the sandy beaches, waddles through the swamps of the Everglades, and even perches on the top of Cinderella's Castle at Disney World, spreading her love for drawing! The kids that participate in sketching in Florida aren't your ordinary artists. Oh no, they're Sketching Superstars! With a pencil in hand and Shelly's guidance, they transform into superheroes, creating magic on paper. They sketch everything from swampy alligators smiling with their wide mouths, rockets at Kennedy Space Center soaring high, to the sizzling sunsets sinking into the Gulf of Mexico. Sketching is not just a hobby for these kids; it's an adventure, a way to express their brilliant ideas and thoughts, and an excuse to chuckle at Shelly’s comical sketches. Shelly Sketchalot always says, “In Florida, we don't just draw, we sketch our stories!” So come on kids, grab your sketchbooks and let's join Shelly in the Florida’s sketching extravaganza!

What began in a humble New York City apartment with just a single student, Spark, has since blossomed into an enriching program impacting thousands of children. Our unique educational approach combines the elements of art, yoga, meditation, and nature to create a holistic learning environment. This distinctive blend is what sets Spark apart, allowing us to reach and inspire a multitude of children in truly meaningful ways. With an array of offerings to accommodate various schedules and needs, Spark has something for everyone. Our services extend beyond the standard after school and weekend classes to include holiday and summer camps, birthday parties, portfolio preparation, private classes, and custom pods. We also welcome homeschool groups and are thrilled to announce the recent addition of a forest school program to our repertoire. You can find Spark on-site in various schools and at our main studio located in the Upper West Side. But we're not stopping there - we're also planning to expand to the Upper East Side and Brooklyn. For our families in Pennsylvania, we run the program from our family studio there. And if you're not in close proximity to any of our locations, don't worry. We offer in-home instruction and virtual options to ensure that Spark can reach you, no matter where you are. We invite you to explore all the ways you can experience Spark and look forward to helping bring our program to you.
