In this weekly art club, young artists will draw and paint new artwork each week using a variety of techniques and tools and always inspired by a rainbow of colors!
Class experience
Beginner Level
Artists will meet each week to compose a fun and colorful piece. We will use paints, markers, and other materials you probably have at home already like a Q-tip, muffin tin or coffee filters to create vibrant, energetic, and individual creations. After quick hellos and introductions, we will get right to work. It may be a bit messy, but it's gonna be fun! I will guide students throughout the class and they will be able to see my artwork as a reference. One week we may be diffusing colors on...
My goal is for artists to create beautiful and brilliant compositions using different media and fun techniques; to inspire them to try more on their own; and, for them to return to the studio for something new the following week!
I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree from UCLA and have enjoyed working with vibrant colors through markers, paints, and chalk pastels. My personal style is more abstract, graphic, and even impressionistic and this is reflected in my own painting style over the years. I enjoy the spontaneity of these creative painting projects and there is no better group of learners to do this with than the younger set!
