In this class I will be your personal painting instructor and teach your child their how to paint a cute penguin using acrylic paint on a 8x10 canvas or 9x12 mixed media pad. The process will be step by step so that everyone can feel successful with their creation. A simple template of the penguin's face is included for printing out and tracing onto the canvas. We will cover simple painting techniques using flat and round paint brushes. I will also go over brush care so that students can keep their paint brushes in tip top shape. This class is also meant to be a time for social engagement and interaction as we paint. Students are encouraged to embellish their paintings and add their own creative ideas. At the end of class we share our works of art (students may opt out of sharing their work). For private party requests, we will work together to coordinate the day and time for the class. The price listed is per guest. I require a minimum of 3 guests for a private party booking. I separate private classroom is set up for private parties.
Learning Goals
Besides having fun and socializing with friends, participants will learn acrylic painting techniques and proper care of painting supplies.
