History
The program began in 1977 with an enrollment of 30 students. Dr. Ellin Grossman and Mary Ann Boykin worked together to develop model curricula and teaching methods for diverse ages and learners. After teaching with the Art School for ten years, Dr. Ann Waltz was the program director from 2005-2017. In the spring of 2017, Dr. David Moya took over as director, and in the summer of 2020 became Clinical Assistant Professor for the EC-12 art education track. The program has expanded to an annual enrollment of over 1,200 students. Classes are held at UH-Clear Lake, after school at numerous elementary schools in the Clear Creek and Friendswood Independent School Districts, at local private schools, and home school groups. The Art School for Children is dedicated to offering art classes that benefit all children, inspire pre service teachers, give additional options for professional teachers, and serve families and the community.
