Business Overview

The Rare Hare Studio offers art classes to children ages preschool through 8th grade, introducing a wide variety of materials and techniques.Students are encouraged to explore supplies and tools freely, as well as to participate in guided lessons.Basic artistic elements such as line, shape, color, texture, form, space, and value, as well as design concepts, are discussed and practiced at appropriate grade levels.Study of these elements is further enhanced by an emphasis upon the use of patterns and rhythm in art.Taking note of patterns in the environment around us and how they can be interrelated is an integral part of this process. To achieve these goals, classes often use exercises that emphasize and emulate the styles of individual artists and artistic movements throughout history; although we feel historical artists have something to each us, we by no means use strict interpretation of historical artists, but rather discovery in theme and media. Classes also feature indigenous crafts and multicultural activities as appropriate. Classes support the importance of learning about art tools and techniques through demonstration and exploration, often having open ended and varied results driven by student ingenuity. Self expression and the development of a unique "artist vision" is encouraged and revered in each individual student. An important and special feature of the Rare Hare Studio is the integration of recycled items into the creative process whenever possible.Rare Hare F.A.I.R (Fostering Artistic Ingenuity with Recycling) courses increase environmental awareness by turning normally discarded items that impact San Diego landfills into functional and creative projects.In doing so, children gain an awareness of how their own ability to express themselves can be interconnected with their community and can impact the larger world around them. The Rare Hare Studio offers parent/child participation in both Family Art Classes and Community Classes.Family Art Classes offer an opportunity for the parent, grandparent, aunt or sibling and child to work together in a creative and fun learning environment.Community Classes include school classroom field trips, home school groups, youth groups (e.g., Girl Scouts), and other school and recreational groups, all of which are welcome to schedule courses in advance. We can also arrange off-site visits to schools and community events. Another special feature of Rare Hare Studio is tailor made Birthday Parties. Special art projects engage party guests and relate to an over all party theme. For more information see our Birthday Parties Page. Courses are scheduled as individual, free-standing classes, or as extended courses in a series or camp format.During the school year, courses are taught in the afternoon as an after school alternative, on weekends, and during school hours in order to accommodate school field trips, home school groups, etc.Extended courses are taught in the summer months and organized as art camps, as well as during school breaks, such as winter and spring breaks.Extended courses can be arranged in advance to accommodate the different schedules of varying schools and districts. The Rare Hare Studio graciously accepts donations, especially clean recycled items and other art supplies.See our donations list located on our F.A.I.R page or call for more information regarding what items are needed, as well as drop-off or pick-up availability.
