Welcome to
Art time!
A creative space where young minds explore history, imagination, and themselves - one artwork at a time. From ancient myths to modern dreams, we believe every child is an artist of time.
About Art Time
Art Time is an art class rooted in the heart of Albuquerque and Rio Rancho, NM. We invite children to journey through the rich timeline of art history-from the myth of the ancient world, to the wonders of medieval craftsmanship, and into the vibrant expressions of modern artists.
My curriculum goes beyond techniques. I dive into the thoughts and struggles of artists from every era, helping young learners reflect on their own feelings and ideas through guided interpretation and creative re-creation.
In every Art Time class, children are encouraged to step into the roles of deep thinkers, imaginative storytellers, and curious visual explorers. Through guided discussions and hand-on art-making, they learn to listen to the voices of artists from across time - whether ancient, medieval or modern - and to reflect on to the emotions, questions, and ideas those artists carried. Then, using their own creativity and personal experiences, the children reinterpret them into original artworks that express their unique perspectives and growing senses of self.

Hello! I’m Amy Ju, the founder and lead art educator at Art Time.
I hold a degree in Animation from the Savannah College of Art and Design, where I developed a deep appreciation for visual storytelling and design. During college, I began teaching part-time at a Korean art academy—an experience that ignited my lifelong passion for nurturing creativity in children.
Following graduation, I worked professionally as a graphic designer and pursued further studies in UI/UX design. Yet throughout my career, I found myself continually drawn back to the joy of helping children grow through creative expression. My experience as a Sunday school teacher also deepened my understanding of how to support young minds with patience, empathy, and care.
At Art Time, I see art not merely as a skill but as a powerful tool for children to express their inner worlds—their emotions, thoughts, and imagination. I strive to cultivate an encouraging environment where each child feels seen, valued, and inspired to explore their creativity with confidence.
Whether we’re exploring the depths of art history or constructing whimsical cardboard creations, my mission is simple: to help every child experience the joy of making and the transformative power of discovering their own voice through art.
