Studio 4 Art LLC and Do Art Teacher Manifesto
What is Child Initiated Project Based Learning?
We meet the child where they are at and elevate through questions, curiosity, and play to help them discover in new ways. This allows them to reach beyond what they imagined possible! We lead through questions, allowing for child initiated responses, leaving students feeling accomplished and capable. We encourage experimentation, investigation, and play - will an idea work? Let’s find out together!
A child initiated approach requires flexibility, knowledge of material, and curiosity. We are providing a space for them to explore. We can guide, suggest, demonstrate, and learn alongside them. Subject matter is less focal than their engagement and interest. By allowing for the project to unfold as we go, implementing the process based approach to our project, a child is given space to create a piece that they are designing and directing while getting to learn something new. Our goal is for them to be interested, feel accomplished, introduce them to new techniques, and be empowered in their creating.
When a child says, “I’m done,” we pause together and investigate through wonder, sparking curiosity and encouraging further exploration. We offer small, achievable challenges that help them reach new levels of understanding. After all, not even we know what’s possible until trying! By guiding them just a bit further, we help nurture curiosity, critical thinking, and a sense of empowerment that will serve them in all areas of life - one art project at a time.

Who we are! Advocates for creativity, community, curiosity, and finding voice through art making. Studio 4 Art LLC came to be when our founder, Kebby, knew there was a need for a healthy, vibrant and meaningful connection to learning through art. Her dedication to teaching with compassion, curiosity, and community centered mindfulness fostered a one of a kind approach to teaching art. Studio 4 Art LLC is now run by her son, Jenson, who offers a diverse background in fine art and child development to further expand the legacy of what Studio 4 Art has to offer. Studio 4 Art’s robust, award winning, curriculum in art instruction and exploration provides opportunities for children to problem solve, engage creatively, and form connections in a nurturing environment. The child centered approach allows each individual to engage in new techniques through a lens that excites them. Our instructors are highly qualified staff and professional artists who are able to blend art education and creative thinking to encourage children into pursuing their vision.
