In this one-time class, we'll welcome springtime by painting a cherry blossom tree! 🎨 We'll start class with a warm welcome and icebreaker question, then we'll move on to our painting! 🎨 We'll look at some pictures of real cherry blossom trees and notice together how they have more than one shade of pink. We'll also discuss how using multiple shades of pink can help our paintings look more life-like. 🎨 Next, we'll sponge paint our cherry blossoms onto our tree trunk template, using dark pink, light pink, and white. 🎨 Finally, we'll add grass and learners will be invited to add any final details they would like to their paintings. This could be anything from the sun, to birds, to flowers on the ground. I love to see what amazing ideas they have! I am a patient and positive teacher and I truly believe that everyone can create art! I love seeing learners build their confidence and have fun creating something they're proud of. Everyone's finished product will be different and we celebrate those differences! Also, as a former shy kid myself, I am very understanding of learners who take some time to warm up and there is no pressure in my classes to talk if that isn't comfortable yet. All are welcome here! There is no experience required for this class- beginners welcome!
Other Details
Parental Guidance
Grownup help will be needed before class to print the tree trunk. Depending on the learner's skill and comfort, grownup help may be needed at times during the class (ex. squeezing the paint onto the paper plate).
Supply List
For this class, your learner will need: - A paper plate to put paint on - Something to sponge paint with (sponge, cotton balls, pom poms, scrunched up paper towels, etc.) - Paintbrush (for the final details) - Washable paints - Tree trunk print out (this will be available to download for enrolled students). I recommend printing it on card stock.
