Painting Classes in Halifax for Kids & Teens

"My daughter has been learning here for over 1 year and it has been a great experience. Peggy-Lynn is a wonderful teacher. It needs lot of patience and skills to teach art and I feel fortunate that we could select the right person and place where our daughter can learn and enjoy the process of creativity!"

"Our daughter Alysha attended Peggy-Lynn's classes for two years and loved every minute of it. She learned so much from Peggy-Lynn in such a short time. Prior to attending Peggy-Lynn's classes Alysha would not show us her art but that all changed and she became extremely proud and excited to show us her work and allowed us to publicly show it to our friends and family. Peggy-Lynn is a fantastic teacher and truly cares about her students and their talents. Our only regret is that we didn't find Peggy-Lynn sooner. Thank you Peggy-Lynn for giving Alysha the confidence we knew she had!"

"My daughter has learned so much from this art course. The program has provided her with a wealth of knowledge and skill, from understanding different artistic techniques to exploring her creativity. I am truly impressed with the progress and I am grateful for the dedicated Peggy Lynn who has guided my daughter every step of the way."

"Peggy Lynn is a very effective teacher. She cares and prioritizes the development of her student's growth, while maintaining a safe working environment for her student's. She is on-hand, and always there to guide her students when needed."

"My two daughters had the privilege of having Peggy-Lynn as their art teacher for years. They began at a very young age and continued all through their school years. The number one reason they wanted to return is Peggy-Lynn. She has a magical ability to connect with all of her students. She takes the time to listen and learn more about her students. She wants to give each one an individual experience that builds on their strengths and responds to their challenges. She cares about her students! My girls were involved in many extra curricular activities through the years but their art lessons were constant. They were excited to go every week, even as teenagers! Through Peggy-Lynn's patience and personal teaching style, the girls really grew in both their confidence and artistic abilities. I have beautiful pieces of art that flank my walls and as the girls get older, I treasure them more and more. It was a very sad time when we finally had to say good-bye but the girls cherish their moments with Peggy-lynn and remember their time together fondly. She has definitely had a place in their hearts."

"I have been painting with Peggy Lynn in an Adult Class for the past 2 years. When I found her website I knew it was just what I was looking for. I was an intermediate painter in some respects but had no formal training. My greatest achievement to date is that I now have the knowledge base, under Peggy Lynn's expert guidance, to mix colours with confidence allowing me to paint at home at my leisure. Peggy Lynn supports us in choosing subjects to paint, encouraging us to learn new techniques and painting styles. Her depth of knowledge, talent and passion for art contributes greatly to our success as students. I feel very fortunate to have found such a positive learning environment."

"Peggy Lynn has found the right balance to create a learning environment that is comfortable enough so that students are willing to take risks as we develop our skills. Peggy Lynn is highly knowledgeable of art mediums, styles and artists, all of which she puts to use specifically for each student. Small class sizes means plenty of individual attention."

"I have recently started taking art classes with Peggy Lynn after my retirement. Peggy Lynn has helped me to better understand perspective, composition and colour in her classes with her positive and encouraging teaching style. I eagerly look forward to Thursday afternoons when I can relax and enjoy my class in a fun environment."

"I strongly recommend Peggy-Lynn. Our daughter has had lessons with Peggy-Lynn for 5+ years. A warm encouraging environment. Knowledgeable instruction to explore drawing & painting with a wide range of mediums and styles. Amazing to see the spark of joy in your child & the outlet of personal expression in beautiful art!"

"Everyone should have the opportunity to find the artist that's buried within themselves. Peggy-Lynn's approach to teaching art is fun, personal, and uniquely tailored to each student - almost effortless. That's the beauty of learning from such a great teacher."

"As a dancer and a teacher of Ballroom dance for 50 years, I can be very critical of how teachers impart artistic information to students. With that in mind I say that this Art Studio is an exceptional place to learn. Peggy Lynn’s knowledge of art mediums, art history and development of learning makes the time interesting, valuable and even meditative. A good place for adults and children to learn art."

"Peggy is a fantastic teacher and the class is a lot of fun. I am a complete novice, however with Peggy’s guidance, I actually surprised myself. I highly recommend this class for both the learning and the enjoyment."
