Challenge yourself!

Before we started learning ABC, 123, we definitely recognize colors. These kids can prove to you, that each of us are talented artists waiting to be discovered. If they can make wonderful paintings to show off to their proud parents when they go home each time, what's stopping you from making one for yourself?
Lyric Center for Expressive Arts can help develop the creative talents of the art student and to cultivate an appreciation of creative arts in people of all ages.

Attendees will also enrich their way of communication so that their clients can openly express their emotions and are comfortable to discuss personal issues. Attendees gain artistic and creative skills through a sensible and realistic approach. They will learn to see deeply and profoundly.Will gain a kind of confidence in one’s creative abilities that for many non-artists, cannot be gained any other way; to unblock thereby increase their confidence to explore other kinds of art.
