Meet one of the creative people behind our classes! 🎨 Malina loves helping young artists turn simple shapes into artwork they are proud to bring home.

She is a sophomore at the University of Arizona majoring in Elementary Education. She’s passionate about art and loves drawing, painting, and helping young artists discover their own creativity.

Her favorites? 💗 Baby pink, 🐢 sea turtles, 🖌️ acrylic paint, and 🍊 drawing citrus slices!

Fun fact: Her charcoal artwork was featured in her high school’s senior yearbook! 🖤

We’re so happy to have her inspiring our young artists! 🎨✨

We’re proud to share that our Program Director, Eledel Osorio Giddings, has been published in the Arizona Daily Star! 🎉

Her guest opinion, “What Tucson Children Teach Us About Creative Confidence,” was inspired by a real Young Rembrandts classroom moment—and five unforgettable words from a student:

“I can’t believe I drew that.”

At Young Rembrandts Tucson, we see how step-by-step drawing instruction helps children move beyond hesitation, trust the process and discover what they are capable of creating.

We invite you to read the article and join the conversation: When has your child surprised themselves by doing something they initially thought they couldn’t do?

A blank page can teach children more than drawing. An art educator says the process builds persistence, problem-solving and confidence.
