Classes start back up on September 13th! No class October 18th. This class is geared toward young artists who love to create and want to practice their art making skills. You are welcome to join every week or drop in whenever it fits your schedule. No prior knowledge or experience is needed to enjoy each class. My goal is always to make students feel comfortable and confident in their art making abilities. Upcoming classes: September 20: Mexican Folk Art Inspired Deer Painting September 27: Squirrel Crayon Drawing October 4: Fall Collage Landscape Each week students will learn about one of the art elements: line, shape, color or texture. They will create an artwork practicing a different skill. Each 4 week rotation may repeat concepts and skills but artworks will never be repeated. Some art techniques we will focus on are drawing, painting, collaging, printing, cutting and pasting. Class agenda will include: - Quick welcome and introduction - Art supply check - Discuss and practice daily art element - Step by step instructions to create unique artwork - Spotlight each student to share artwork - Storytime or game (time permitting) - Sneak peek at the next weeks artwork - Goodbyes * Specific supplies needed for class will be posted in the classroom a week prior to class. A general list of supplies is provided but will not be required each week. * I try to make classes as independent as possible but depending on your child’s skill level some adult assistance might be required especially for distribution of paint. I recommend being close by to offer assistance if needed. * Class time will usually be 40 minutes but occasionally may run over by 5 minutes, I will always stay until every child has an opportunity to share.

Originally from New Jersey, Mary Roche, moved to Baltimore in 2003 to attend the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA). While at MICA Mary focused on her two passions, Sculpture and teaching students. For as long as she can remember art has been a huge part of her life. Since she studied at the Studio Art Center International in Florence in 2005 she has taken every opportunity to travel and use art from around the world to inspire her personal art and the lessons she teaches her students. She loves to work with children and watch them make discoveries through art. Whether in her own work or in her students', she strives to make personal connections with the real world to help relate to the artwork being created.
Mary graduated from MICA with a BFA in General Sculptural Studies. Then continued at MICA to earn a Masters in Art Teaching degree. She taught in Howard County Public Schools for 6 years with experiences in elementary and high school art programs. While living in Maryland, she worked with a homeschooling group to create custom curriculums and summer camps that were cross curricular with history. She has over 10 years experience teaching private art lessons.
Mary moved to Bucks County, PA in 2014, were she took on long term substitute art positions in the Central Bucks School District and taught art classes at the Whitemarsh Art Center and ArtMuse. While at ArtMuse she focused on teaching preschool and lower elementary age students, she also developed a child caregiver program for students ages 2 to 4. Making sure she shares her love of art while helping students gain self confidence is very important to Mary. She is looking forward to meeting students on Outlook.com and helping them to create meaningful artwork that makes them proud. Mary currently resides in York County, PA with her husband Kris and daughters Ella and Willow.Reviews
