In this one-time class, we'll use sponge painting to create some not-so-scary monsters! 🎨 We'll start class with a warm welcome and icebreaker question, then we'll move on to our project! 🎨 First, we'll use washable/tempera paint to sponge paint a large blob for our monster's body. Learners are encouraged to use any colors they like and to make the body any shape. Creativity is encouraged! 🎨 Next, we'll choose some eyes and a mouth from the printout provided and cut them out. Then, we'll glue those onto our monster bodies. 🎨 Finally, we'll draw some simple arms, legs, and other details with a marker or pen. 🎨 We'll repeat this process 2-3 times (or more, if time permits) so that learners can experiment with different colors, shapes, and details of their monsters. This project is meant to be fun, relaxed, and allow for lots of creativity from learners. There is no experience required for this class- beginners welcome! I am a patient and positive teacher and I truly believe that everyone can create art! I love seeing learners build their confidence and have fun creating something they're proud of. Everyone's finished product will be different and we celebrate those differences! Also, as a former shy kid myself, I am very understanding of learners who take some time to warm up and there is no pressure in my classes to talk if that isn't comfortable yet. All are welcome here!

Parental Guidance
Learners may need help gather materials before class. Also, due to the inherent risks that come with using scissors, I ask that learners be supervised by an adult while they are using their scissors. Safety first!

Teacher expertise and credentials
Bachelor's Degree from The University of Florida
Hello! My name is Ms. Suzanne and I love teaching arts and crafts to young artists. I believe everyone can be an artist! I love working with kids and have done so as a daycare teacher, nanny, school volunteer, and as a mom to my own three kids. I have a BA in linguistics from the University of Florida and I've been doing arts and crafts for as long as I can remember (I even ran my own Etsy shop for awhile!). When I teach arts and crafts projects to young learners, I believe in giving them lots of encouragement to try new things and make mistakes. Everyone's art will be a little different, and not only is that ok, it's amazing!Reviews
