About Think Round Fine Arts’ Abrahamic Family Art Making classes
Our program is designed to provide parents and children (ages five to eleven) and youth (ages twelve to 17) to spend quality time, making art together to promote imagination, communication and understanding of family and to explore individual and family creativity and self-expression. Families can sign up for 13-week courses designed to guide families to learn about the rich history and cultural diversity of the planet and its people—especially those who are among the Families of Abraham. Art projects in painting, drawing, collage, print making, ceramics and others will be guided by SF fine artists on the topics listed above. Participants can discover more about each other and their roles within their families, their community, and the world.
Children ages five to eleven must be accompanied by an adult; youth ages 12-17 can attend solo. Drop-ins are welcomed but space is limited to ten families so RSVP NOW to guarantee your spot!

It’s a mindfulness meditation centered on your now with an eye to your future. After clearing your circle, you will be guided to centered within your body using short asana and pranayama exercises. Then, through an open-heart inner teacher practice, you will ask your inner teacher two simple questions: Where am I at right now? and What do I need to focus on to get where I am going? Your body will lead the way! You just need to listen and follow your heart to discover, there truly is “no place like home!”
