Class Experience

US Grade Kindergarten - 6

Beginner Level

Children will be directed to create one of a kind fall tree paintings using methods that might be new to them.  Over two class sessions they will learn different techniques.  In session one they will use fall colored paints, straws, and q tips in unconventional ways.  In session two they will use fall colored paints, pom poms, and aluminum foil.  They will be encouraged to explore the methods and techniques shown through trial and error.  Children will gain skills which foster critical thinking and problem solving.

Pictures and videos will be provided to help guide children with their paintings.  Clear examples will be given.  A complete supply list for each session is listed.  Children will be inspired to make their paintings one of a kind.  Their self-expression and creativity will shine!

This class is also offered in Version 1 and Version 2 as two separate self-paced classes.

Learning Goals
