About the Studio, Students and the Experience
Blank Slate is a studio where children can imagine, express and create masterpieces of their own. Young artist learn about famous artists, practice art techniques and explore different media. Blank Slate promotes independence and creativity in classes designed for your young artist. Children will explore and create with varied media in an environmen
t that encourages self-expression and artistic development. Classes are based on a theme or art concept. As your young artist grows we will continue to explore basic concepts while incorporating more advanced methods and materials that will challenge their intellectual, perceptual and physical skills as well as teaching them new ones. We paint, draw, sculpt, play, work, think and create. We are inspired by music, literature, conversation and silence. We watch, we listen and we plan. Instructors help develop work habits and organizational skills. At Blank Slate children will learn to appreciate others, themselves and their world and individuality of each young artist. Come and join in the fun art experience! About the Artist/Owner Tracy Angelo
As a child I remember my mother (an artist herself) making messes with me. It was finger painting to drawing on the living room walls before the big remodel of our Victorian home. The scribble and spot painting then turned into teaching me how to draw and paint beautiful gardens with her china paints. My very talented mother’s love for art and craftsmanship of china painting inspired me to fall in love with a world of color, shadows, and shapes that most people forget about after elementary school. I continued my love for art at Seton Hill College graduating with a BA in Art Therapy. While teaching art as therapy to physically and mentally challenged adults and children I attended the Art Institute of Pittsburgh receiving a Certificate in Graphic Design. Then hired at one of the first B-to-B online marketing companies as a Designer working my way to Lead UI designer in Development. While working at Freemarkets.com I attended Duquesne University and graduated with a MS in Multimedia Technology.
