Class Experience

US Grade 1 - 3
In this class, we'll do art explorations to embrace flexible thinking and the unexpected ideas that surface when you allow your imagination to run free!

We will start by looking at a few pages of the book Beautiful Oops, which highlights the beauty in using your imagination to overcome mistakes or to kick-start new ideas. We'll then move into a few art games and explorations to create our own unique art pieces pulled from our imagination! This is an art class, but in some ways encourages flexibility in thinking, and you can see from class feedback that I've had many tentative artists leave my class feeling more joyful about the possibilities that can come from making a mistake.

Finished artworks may not be refrigerator-worthy - this class is very much about exploration and finding joy in the unexpected.

Please note the supply list in the section below to ensure you have materials ready to go at class start (this list will also be posted in the virtual classroom)!

A note on sibling participation: please note that siblings are welcome to share a computer, but all individual learners must be registered for the class. 

I look forward to seeing you for this fun exploration!
