GreenARTS
GreenARTS is an educational company. Through GreenARTS camp and after school classes it teaches children the lost art of hand sewing and how to create sculptures and toys from recycled materials. These activities improve hand eye coordination, dexterity, and the children’s overall skill of critical thinking.
GreenARTS started serving the Culver City community in 2014 with just one after school class one day a week and in 2015 started running spring and summer camps.
Currently we are servicing multiple Culver City schools five days a week.
GreenARTS Team Members
Tess Danielson is a vocal coach and continuous student of all things. She just received her BA in theatre Arts from Utah Valley University. Her emphasis was in performance and design. And she loved every minute of it. Through the labs at UVU she was able to learn many versatile things about design and outside the box thinking.
Tess from the young age of 7 was obsessed with the show project runway. And even made her little sister model for her, as she made a dress out of newspaper. Because of this she is very excited to work on the trash 2 treasure projects!
Ashapriyanka (Asha) Kottamasu loves working with children. She is currently an instructional assistant at Farragut Elementary and works with all elementary aged children.
