Welcome To The Mar Vista Art Studio

 Welcome to the first post on the Mar Vista Art Website!

On this website you can find art from some of the most talented 

and creative young artists in Southern California. 

Guided by their art instructor Mr. Miceli, the students at Mar Vista learn how 

to paint, draw and sculpt like young professionals, mixing art history, modern and classical techniques and the educational philosophy that all children have innate abilities to be

confidently empowered through visual arts.

Please do enjoy our student's work and come back soon 

because Mr. Miceli will be updating the website daily. 

 

 Stacks of air dry clay, roughly 25 lbs. worth. Hmmm, I do love a good stack of clay.

This is one of my favorite books on the market. Loaded with great drawing exercises and 

ways to be creative, "Let's Make Some Great Art", challenges children 

to be expressive and not to fear using the pencil to create something great.

Visual Aids

Sculptures from Around the World.

I try to incorporate using the laptop projector and or document camera in my lessons

to serve as great visual motivations for our students before, during and after the art lesson.
