This fun winter art camp is perfect for young artists looking to be creative over winter break, between Christmas and New Years or over February Break. This class will be similar in format to my Winter Elementary Art class, but I will run it even more relaxed and fun for camp. The art topics I will cover are watercolor painting, and lots of drawing. Learners will use pencil, pastels, crayons, markers and/or colored pencils to learn drawing techniques. We will mix and match using markers, paints and pencils, for example, in the same piece of art. We will discuss color, composition, shapes, overlapping colors, perspective, design, and strive to make each artwork unique, playful, and fun! Art projects include: *Monday: Penguin watercolor resist project. *Tuesday: Hot Cocoa Mug *Wednesday: Snowman Snow globe *Thursday: Polar bear wearing a winter sweater *Friday: Winter Landscape with evergreen trees and forest animals. Class will be structured so that learners can interact with each other and have fun, all while creating a new unique artwork. I will guide students on their artwork by creating my own piece along with students and talking about each step. Along the way, we will talk about the art techniques being used. Towards the end of each class, we will have a discussion and share artwork with each other, while talking about the project. My teaching style is relaxed and easy going. Each student will be allowed to be as creative and free as they would like. I enjoy and encourage lots of discussion about the art process and include a positive, encouraging critique. No previous experience is required.
Learning Goals
Students will enjoy interacting with other learners, in a positive, supportive environment. The main learning goal is confidence in their artistic ability. The other learning goal is learning new art techniques and styles.

Hello! I am an Art Educator and Artist. I love teaching art to all ages, especially elementary school and middle school. My art classes include watercolor painting, acrylic painting, drawing, elementary art projects that work on skill building, and learning about art history through fun projects about artists - including Non-Western and Women artists.
I teach art from my heart and aim to build self esteem in my students through the arts. I challenge students to find their inner artist through creativity and self expression. I believe in the process of art, individual expression, creative thinking, and problem solving. Each art project is designed to develop technical skills, artistic interpretation, and unique artwork. We have lots of fun while making artwork and socializing is encouraged during my art classes.
My art background began as a child. I loved to learn how to paint or draw anything and everything. After receiving a BFA in Graphic Design, I became a children's textile designer in the fashion industry in NYC. While in New York, I attended fine arts classes at the Art Student's League and The New School. I moved to New York State's Hudson Valley, and am inspired daily by the landscapes and nature around me. I also am inspired by my pet cats, who may visit the classroom once in a while.
