With personalized attention and a variety of engaging projects, this class is perfect for kids looking to enhance their art skills while having a blast! Each week, we will dive into famous works of art like "Starry Night" by Vincent Van Gohh and Claude Monet's "Water Lilies," discussing their colors, textures, and techniques. To ensure safety and support, a camera is required for visual confirmation before class begins. Each participant must enroll separately. Students are encouraged to express their creativity and may need some extra time after class to finish their artworks. I am a Outschool Star Educator with over 10 years of experience teaching art in public schools and as a homeschool mom. I create a fun and supportive environment that welcomes all skill levels, helping kids build their artistic voice while connecting with peers. Parents praise my kindness, clear instructions, and ability to engage students, making this class an excellent way to develop essential skills such as fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and critical thinking while freely expressing themselves artistically.
