“Aspects of training in the arts, like motor control, attention and motivation, increases the efficiency of students’ attention brain network as a whole, even when working in other areas of study, and it improves fluid IQ scores. Sustained arts education can be an essential part of social and intellectual development.”
You are not alone and we are here to help. The structure, encouragement and progression built into our drawing, painting and pottery classes give students a healthy outlet to grow, express themselves and gain confidence.
Founder and Owner Ann Brucker’s vision is to guide students through Beginner Art classes to Advanced Fine Arts classes where participants of all ages gain art skills through learning how to draw, how to paint, and working with clay and clay sculpting. Her approach helps increase students’ passion for art, strategic thinking and visual language skills, focusing skills, self-esteem and reduced anxiety.
Mosaic Arts Loft artist staff guide students in:
• Art classes for kids in K-5th
• Middle school art classes
• High school art classes
• Art classes for adults
Each path blends classical art training with personal style development, so every student feels seen, supported and challenged in the right way.
Our staff artists teach art lessons for kids with kindergarten art lessons as well as elementary art lessons geared towards their age levels. Teachers train art skill to students who learn foundational skills and concepts of drawing, painting, pottery and clay sculpting through fun, achievable projects that build week by week.
In art lessons for teens, our staff artists teach art skill foundations with personal style development in middle school and high school art lessons, as well as homeschoolers in search of art lessons. Students are guided individually through their choice of classical drawing, painting, sculpting or pottery classes in the same lesson day and time, all year long. These classes are ideal for portfolio building, high school credit support, or simply strengthening creative confidence.
Artists on staff bring college-level art skill training and personal style development, with the addition of story in adult art classes offered in individualized small group lessons. Students may choose their area of focus from drawing, painting, sculpting or pottery classes in the same day and lesson time, shifting from one medium to another as desired. Many adults find these classes to be a valuable way to unwind, reconnect with creativity, and grow real fine art skills.

Mid-way through our Summer Art Camp week a 10 year old’s father told us “My daughter’s in a learning center program this summer and the Director came up to me yesterday and asked ‘What has your daughter been doing different this week?!’ I told him all she’s doing different is that we enrolled her in an art camp at Mosaic Arts Loft. Then he said, ‘We have seen her make a dramatic learning breakthrough this week, along with an increase in her ability to focus on her academic work! Whatever they are doing with her at that art camp, we could sure use more of that here!’
