Paint pouring has taken the world by storm, but pouring with resin and other chemicals is not safe for children to do. For younger learners, even acrylic pouring can be overwhelmingly messy. In this one-time class, your learner will be able to create a painting that looks like it was poured, with safe and accessible materials, and with no further mess than painting normally incurs. I will walk students through the process while demonstrating on camera. If students have any questions or need clarification, there is plenty of time for that as well. I believe in the power of process art, which is doing artwork where the process, rather than the product, is the goal. Paint pouring is a fantastic way to embrace that idea. Learners should expect to get a little messy and to have lots of fun. I feel that children should be encouraged to follow their passions. Children need to know that they can have what they want for their lives if they have the correct tools and motivation to get there. I hope to help build confidence in my students and to give them some of those tools. I also believe that not every child learns the same way. Education is not a one-size-fits-all experience. I look forward to helping your child learn how they learn. While I offer an extensive collection of class content choices, my specialty is meeting students where they’re at and making the course material accessible to all students, regardless of the topic. I love to be silly with my students and encourage interaction in all of my classes. I want learners to feel at ease and safe to be themselves in my classroom. My small class sizes and relaxed, encouraging teaching style allow me to tailor my classes to each student’s needs and learning style, resulting in learners walking away from class confident and smiling. *If you don't see a time listed that works for you, please reach out. I am happy to add classes to accommodate students' schedules whenever I can. Thank you!*
