🎨 Welcome to the world of mixed media art! This private class can be taken as a one-time class or as often as you like. If the times listed do not work for you, please send us a direct message through Outschool to inquire about setting up a time for your learner. After we arrange a time that works, we will send you a direct link to enroll. Please make sure your learner has the supplies required for this class. Also, have your supplies ready to go at the beginning of the class so we can jump into creating our masterpiece at beginning of class. What to expect in each class: We start our creative journey with a step-by-step drawing. We guide your learner to "think like an artist" as they create their own unique artwork. We'll explore a variety of art mediums, and I'll demonstrate a variety of techniques throughout the lesson. Learners will experiment with a wide variety of watercolor techniques: wet-on-wet, wet-on-dry, lift-off, line-wash, underpainting, wax-resist & more! This class is all about your child, offering one-on-one attention to boost their artistic confidence. We will be sure to highlight the elements of art and principles of design in each lesson. When it’s time to paint, we will dive into color theory. We will also discuss fun facts related to the subject of the painting. Creating mixed media art offers many benefits: ✅Experimenting with different art mediums encourages creativity. ✅Mixing art mediums boosts decision-making skills and builds confidence. ✅Your child will discover their unique art style. ✅Mixing art mediums provides an opportunity for self-expression. ✅Encourages inventive thinking that extends beyond the art classroom. The one-on-one setting ensures personalized attention, making it perfect for learners seeking individualized support. We are happy to adapt our one-on-one lessons to your learner. The atmosphere at Creative Cat Art Studio is laid-back and encouraging, providing a safe space for questions and creative expression.
