One-Time Class. Students 8-13 will use acrylic paints and 8x10 canvas to paint his or her interpretation of a basket ball. This will be a Teacher lead assignment and there are no right or wrong ways to paint - just be creative and follow the basic instructions. Their basketball will be as unique and individual as they are! This program is designed to teach students to appreciate their strengths and their personal importance in the world around them! They have there own unique experiences...

Teaching self-awareness and authenticity (individuality) to make the best decisions they can make for a fulfilling, healthy future. Student need no prior artistic experience, they are to create freely and show appreciation for their peers and the works of art each of them have created!
I am an Enrichment Program Director with my own 501c3 and LLC and a SEL Art Instructor with local after school and summer camp agencies. I regularly work with children using various art mediums and art related curriculum to teach (SEL) Social Emotional Learning competencies and 21st Century Life Skills. Art can also be very therapeutic and relaxing and helps to ease tensions or frustrations that a child may not otherwise be able to articulate. I have over 30 years experience working with youth and teens and have studied both Art Theory/History, Bachelors level Interior Design, I have my Bachelors in Organizational Leadership and I'm a Master's candidate for my MA in SEL (10/2023). As an educator, I love to see children excited over their own exploration and self discovery. I've seen children say they couldn't do this or couldn't do that, and with some patient coaching achieve incredible things!
