| Throughout the summer young children, ages 5-14, have joined San Diego, CA artist, art director and teacher, Michelle Abrams right, (pictured here with her assistants, Nick and Megan) for art classes in her San Diego studio. Because of Michelles professional art and design background, she offers students unique insights and special personal attention, knowing just when to help, encourage or redirect them. |

| Michelle's contagious love for the arts brings out the best from her enthusiastic young students during directed-drawing classes, and the resulting illustrations are fresh, colorful, exuberant, and quite inspirational.
Michelle often compares the student artwork to those of the classics, describing their artwork as, "quite colorful and strikingly beautiful - worthy of being called 'fine art' in the tradition of Matisse, Van Gogh, Picasso or Miro." After class, Michelle encourages parents and students to take their artwork off the refrigerator, enlarge it, frame it, and display it proudly throughout the house!
Michelle's husband, Glenn, also a designer, was inspired to create Kids-Did-It! Properties, a design studio that collects, represents and reproduces the student artwork. So, aside from the thrill and satisfaction of being published, the young artists also earn a royalty for the licensed reproduction of their work. To date, more than 70 students have been published. Students often use the proceeds as extra allowance, or for college savings. "Some students have even framed their first royalty check!" says Glenn. Now more than 470 of the most compelling illustrations are available for licensed reproduction under the Kids-Did-It! Designs® retail brand. |
