ABOUT DR. JAVA JOSHI (FOUNDER): 

Born in India, at a young age Java earned several accolades in addition to earning Masters in Fine Arts and Ph.D. in Drawing & Painting from India.

Early in her career (at age of 13), Java was influenced by Intuitive Abstract Expressionism. Been involved in both, painting and performing arts, a large portion of her work reflects relationship between art of painting and theatre, with paintings based on themes of plays/theatre from across the world. Her recent collection of paintings is based on Indian Folk Dances prior to which the collection was based on habitats and lifestyles of Indian villages.

She has spent time in commercial arts (graphic and web design) as well as fine arts of drawing and painting. She has worked in advertising firms and now shares the passion of arts through teaching.

Her style of using bright and vibrant colors allows her to express her imagination in a way that is refreshing & eye catching. She expresses herself in oil, acrylic, pencil and ink, sometimes combining non-traditional mediums.

She says: “When observing my work, I would like you to feel energized and refreshed.”

This class is perfect for the children who like to color, draw, paint, and express themselves.  We do fun art activities based on fundamental principles of art, but to be loosely interpreted by each little Van Gogh in the class.  We encourage individuality and stress the importance of each child making their art their own way.

Each child will receive individual instruction based on their own skill level.  This class is one hour jam packed with hands on instruction in drawing techniques, color theory, color mixing with water/acrylic/oil paint, painting techniques, brush care/use, compositional studies, and much more.
