Class Experience

In this fun, relaxed class we will use watercolors to paint through the seasons. From howling Alaskan wolves to ferocious waves, and from sea turtles to wild poppies, we will paint a journal that will be a keepsake of seasonal change and artistic growth through the year. 
Each class begins with an opportunity to look at photographs (or video clips) that will inspire our creativity. I will then demonstrate through a live painting format how to draw and paint the object. Although I give guidance, I aim for each student to draw upon their own "inner artist" and have a go on their own. I aim to support each student when they need it and inspire those who are more confident to look at their work in another light, taking their painting skills to another level.
During class there is a relaxed format where during our painting time there is time to chat and build friendships as we talk about our paintings.

Below is an idea of the weekly schedule of our painting. There will be opportunities for students to suggest things they would like to paint in future sessions too!

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello there! 
I am a qualified British teacher living in the U.K. I have taught the 3-11 year old children for over for over 15 years. At present I teach part-time at a local school Here I teach 4-8 year olds Math Mastery and phonics.
My other passion is to teach children about the natural world through drawing and craft.
I am a qualified outdoor educator (Forest School Level 3), and cannot wait to bring the outside into your home. By teaching about the natural world I hope to encourage your child to go out, explore and become passionate about the natural world. Through drawing, natural crafts and stories I would hope to build a connection between your child and the natural world, that will light a spark of love for the outdoors, and will last them a lifetime.
I also love to pass on knowledge about my culture, I am originally from Wales, have lived in Scotland and now live in England... so there will be lots to learn in my lessons about these three countries of the United Kingdom.
I would wish your child to be so inspired by my lessons that they would want to find out more independently about art, nature and different cultures.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
