Class Experience

US Grade 2 - 5

Beginner - Intermediate Level

We will start class with requests for favorite flowers that the students want to include in their paintings.  We'll then use various watercolor techniques to create a base layer for each section of the painting.  

Textures, highlights, shadows, and details will be added to personalize the painting and give each flower dimensional detail.  Different techniques will be introduced to enhance individual paintings.  

Each finished work will be unique based on personal choices made with colors and composition.

Learning Goals

Students will gain skills in painting, composition, layering, and color mixing along with making choices to enhance their painting with texture and details.

Profile

Teacher expertise and credentials

Hello!  I'm Amy Roadman, a PreK-12 Certified Art Teacher with 20+ years of experience and the owner of the Igniting Creativity Organization.

As a visual arts educator, I strive to bring creativity into the lives of others.  I started taking art classes as a young child myself and I've never looked back.  Being encouraged to be creative at a young age shaped my future.    

At Igniting Creativity, we believe art and creativity can be taught, you don't have to start out with innate talent, but a desire to create and practice.  So many of our students expect to be an expert after one drawing and are disappointed if they struggle at all during the process.  Once they realize that other activities or sports that they participate in require a tremendous amount of practice before they play the first game or get up on a stage to perform, they understand that they don't have to put that kind of pressure on themselves and are then able to enjoy every step of the learning curve.

We can't wait to share our enthusiasm for art and the creative process with you!
