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.  In this version of the class they will use fall colored paints, straws, and q tips in unconventional ways.  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 is listed.  Children will be inspired to make their paintings one of a kind.  Their self-expression and creativity will shine!

There are two different versions of this class using different methods.  Please consider signing your child up for Version 2 as well.  The classes can be taken in any order.

Learning Goals
