WE HERE AT BRUSH STROKES AND MORE LLC ARE UNITED IN THEIR BELIEF THAT ALL STUDENTS:

• Have the power to learn
• Are curious & creative
• Can succeed

No two students have exactly the same creative skills or learning style. That’s why we create an individual learning plan for every student. Our plan will combine direct art instruction with tutoring in a way that works for your student.  Classes and summer camps include pencil drawing, painting, pastels, watercolors, acrylics, paper mache, clay and mosaics just to name a few.

We are involved with many elementary schools in our community such as Jerry Thomas, Limestone Creek Elementary, and Beacon Cove Elementary.  We are proud to sponsor Limestone Creek Elementary from 2016 - 2024 school year, their first popcorn Friday, all students will receive popcorn on us. We go directly into the classroom and volunteer with the teachers and students. Limestone Creek's first grade students read a book and we plan an art project based on the literature, using the student's fine motor skills. Also with Limestone Creek students' help, we designed and painted a mural at their back playground field area.  Jerry Thomas Elementary second grade teachers are having us work on holiday themed art projects throughout the year.  At Beacon Cove Elementary in 2015 - 2020 we supplied the Art Club with the materials needed to make several mosaic tables and Lazy Susans that has been auctioned off to raise money for the school. We donated white baseball caps and birdhouses to every student at Edna W. Runner Tutorial Center in 2022. 

We also continue to donate summer art camp weeks each year to locate students in need.
