David and Darla Bowley are the founders of David's Art Academy. Over the past few years the academy has grown in to what it is today. A video directional drawing program that spans across the globe; and programs that include clay history assemblies and clay artwork shops that travel throughout.

Artist David, has been teaching children techniques and showing them how to create their own artwork in classrooms since 1995. As a father of 3 young girls, he understands children's comprehension and abilities. His work is not done at an intimidating level; he draws so that a child can, with his own eyes, visualize how it is formed. "I believe that all children possess creativity, my desire is to unleash it in each student. I see the process as letting the children know what they can do. When a child in amazement looks at what he or shey has created, the child's self-esteem grows ten folds. You can't for any price purchase that victory. The children are my greatest teacher may they be our greatest gift and your greatest joy."
