SPARK

My 3 kids attend a public school that only offers art once a week. I asked our amazing art teacher if she knew anyone that could teach my kids outside of school. She enthusiastically recommended Sebastian who is an artist and art teacher.
When my children and I first walked into Sebastian’s beautiful studio, we were enthralled with his amazing art work and felt immediately comfortable with him.
Sebastian is so friendly and kind — easy to talk to and clearly explains to the children what the lesson is for the week. I am a former teacher and I appreciate his calm manner and patience when working with young children. Each time I pick up my kids, they are still engaged in their art work and cheerfully tell me about their lesson and art piece. Sebastian’s lessons truly allow each of my children enough personal choice that they really feel ownership over their individual pieces.
My 3 kids ages 6 – 8 years old have wholeheartedly enjoyed making art with Sebastian. We highly recommend his wonderful program!

I am an art teacher in a New York City public school. I teach 500 students in kindergarten through 4^th grade and I highly recommend ALL my students to Sebastian. Sebastian is more than a great artist, he is a beacon of positive energy who encourages others to see the potential in themselves. I trust my students with Sebastian because I know he will foster confidence within them. Sebastian has the ability to help build his students’ skills without imposing artistic notions. He balances guiding students while also helping them realize their own voice. I wish I had had Sebastian as my art teacher when I was younger. I give him my highest recommendation.
