Kids Need Opportunities for Creative Expression
Your creative, art-loving children often need more time pursuing art than you have the time or inclination to give them.
Sometimes you worry that creativity is the last priority week after week, when you know it would really help your kids to make something they are proud of, to become absorbed in a project that sustains their attention, and to do an activity that boosts their problem solving skills.
At Storygalorey, kids get a opportunity to practice with many art supplies, learn principles of drawing and try different art techniques.
Art gives kids a chance to practice problem solving. It exercises that part of their brains that looks for more than one right answer. Art connected to story is a powerful way to build memory, strengthen vocabulary, and enhance learning.
We can help that learning happen for your children!
"We are so thankful for you! Your art classes are always one of our girls’ very favorite activities that they do for the year.
You are a joy and inspiration in our lives."
-Ashton
Storygalorey Teaches Art Through Educational Books & Real World Inspiration For Well-Rounded Kids!
Storygalorey is an extracurricular art class designed to inspire art through beautiful picture books.
I'm Jennifer Woodard, and I started Storygalorey as a place to inspire children to have permission to be creative, to teach children the delight of a great story, and to help children connect art with other subjects.
I have been teaching children for all of my adult life, beginning as an elementary school teacher and continuing with teaching my children and their peers in homeschool groups. As an experienced teacher, I have discovered how to help kids grow as artists, readers, and co-creators.
I help kids to realize their God-given potential as creators. We try all kinds of projects, supplies, and techniques to help kids grow and expand in their artistic skills.
In person art classes are located in West Lafayette, Indiana. Online art classes also available!

What exactly will my kids be doing at Storygalorey art classes?
Kids love to hear stories, and we always begin by reading a picture book that is relevant to our art project.
After reading our story and taking a few minutes to talk about it and look carefully at the illustrations, we move to the art lesson.
Our materials and techniques vary widely. We most often use tempera paint, watercolor, oil pastels, markers, glue and scissors.
In the process of creating our projects, we learn about many aspects of art: color theory, lines, patterns, composition, form, texture--even art history and famous artists.
With Storygalorey art classes, you are giving children a gift that will help them develop art skills, reading skills, expanded vocabulary, and a sense of wonder.
Creating art is a stress free, self-esteem boosting, whole brain activity that will benefit your child for years to come.
