About me
Hello, I am Chiara.
Mum of three, I have worked in Graphic design for most of my life and I am now more into illustration and surface pattern design.
I setup Art Start Academy to offer parents simple and reliable after school classes that allow their kids to follow their aspirations with friendly and knowledgeable guidance on the different materials and techniques.

In a Nutshell
Some key points about Art Start Academy:
Locations
Craigentinny
Community Centre, Edinburgh
and
The Fisherrow Centre,
Musselburgh
Techniques Variety
We explore many different art and craft techniques such as printmaking, collage, stencil, still-life drawing, portrait drawing, watercolours, mixed media to name just some.
Exploring & Owning
Our classes are structured to help children experiment
and discover their favourite media and styles and enable them to use their learning in their future art endeavours.
Fun + Learning
During classes we briefly explore artistic movements and inspirational characters and masterpieces connected with the technique in use, we add little knowledge to the fun!

Art fun +
art knowledge
The main aim of our classes is fun, but we like to provide our budding artists with bite-size information on art techniques, famous artists and masterpieces to help them build their artistic background and knowledge of possible artistic careers and outcomes.
