Local residents are saying this about Color Me Mine: “I recently visited the Color Me Mine store in Flower Mound, TX and it was a wonderful experience. I have never been to one of your stores before, or anything like it, and was needing help when I showed up with my 8 month old daughter. As soon as I walked in, your employee greeted me with a big smile. She helped me through every step of the process and made it very easy and creative. She even helped me get a hand print out of my 8 month old; something I haven’t been able to do myself! I am appreciative of her expertise and outstanding customer service.” “We had Zoe’s 5th birthday at your studio on Saturday and had a really great experience! Everyone working there was so friendly and all of the kids (boys and girls) had a lot of fun. Thanks so much! “Our Daisy troop had such a great time at the event we had at your shop. We appreciate the staff’s attentiveness and patience with our girls. Thanks so much!” |

Studio Art House was founded by a family of artists for the sake of art! Owner, Kathleen House, has been sharing her passion for art as an artist, teacher, mother and grandmother for over 40 years. Along with her two daughters, co-founder Jennifer Rogers and curriculum director Kayli House Cusick, Kathleen has created a vibrant home for artists of all ages right here in Flower Mound. |
 |
At the Studio Art House, the students learn by creating original works of art. The art classes are uniquely designed to inspire creative expression and artistic development in every student. Studio Art House is the place to learn about real art from real artists. All instructors have degrees in art and work profesionally as artists and art educators. |
|
Young Artists and Studio Artists work in small classes, studying a wide range of artists and art movements, as well as art elements, principles, concepts, and techniques. The students use quality materials to draw, paint, sculpt, collage and printmake, while learning about artists from pre-history to today. They also learn how to talk about their work, their classmates work and the work of famous artists using terms they can understand and apply. “We often hear parents marvel at their children’s knowledge of art. Take an Art House student to the museum, and you are sure to get an earful!” says owner, Kathleen House. |

Here is what Flower Mound residents are saying about the Studio Art House: “Eight years ago my oldest daughter started taking classes at Art House. I am still so excited that I found a local business where my girls can experience the joys of art. You can’t find their diversity of classes/camps/specialty programs anywhere else. The staff is top-notch and really enjoy working with kids and adults. They are pleasant and respectful so I’ve recommended Art House over and over again.” “My children, ages 4 and 7, have been enrolled at Art House in Flower Mound, Texas, for 2 years straight. Both my children love the opportunity to create art in such a personal atmosphere…In a sense, through art, my children have established a wonderful sense of confidence. I am also a Daisy Troop Leader and our troop has done several lessons at Art House teaching young girls about respect, friendship and confidence. This is such a great place for young people to come together in a group setting to learn and contribute. “Our three daughters have taken weekly classes and camps at the Art House for the past 2 1/2 years. My husband and I have seen each of the girls develop a passion and appreciation for art in and out of their weekly classes. The girls have been blessed with professional instructors that have taught them that they are each an artist. The instructor’s compassion and encouragement has given each of our daughters the confidence to succeed!” |

| Yogi Kids Summer Camp 2010 is a fun, creative way to develop important gross and fine motor skills. |
|
214.325.2547 |
All Classes are held Flower Mound United Methodist Church 9:00am-10:15am 4-7 yr. olds Class Days: June 15 & 17, June 22 & 24, |

Yoga for kids is a fun, creative way to develop important gross and fine motor skills. The use of animated poses and basic stretching promote strength, flexibility, coordination and body awareness. Breathing and visualization techniques teach kids how to focus, relax and develop setf-control. Each session is taught by Mrs. Liza Doll, a former elementary school teacher, and is alive with games, magical journeys and dance. Using interactive games and animated poses, kids will learn about animals, nature, and basic anatomy. Your little yogis will improve concentration and focus, stimulate their imagination and help release energy in a fun, safe enviroment. Yoga is non-competitive and there is no judgement about how a child does a pose or plays a game. Doing a pose “perfectly” is not a goal. Yoga nurtures children’s inner-strength, confidence, and self esteem as well as love for one’s self, inside and out. Join Yogi Kids this summer for one week or all six! |
