Description

Class Experience

During this experiential watercolor class, learners will be actively learning four different techniques when engaged in a watercolor painting. In this class we will learn the techniques and then the students will be able to independently have time to practice. If students are shy with drawing, I will help them get their idea down on paper.  The main goal for this class is to have students enjoy experimenting so I will have music playing during the independent investigation parts. At the end...

While getting my masters degree in art therapy, I learned and practiced using many different mediums that one can use to express themselves.  I am also a painter on the side and have a studio behind my house.  While I taught elementary school for 11 years, I also ran an after school art club to help kids unwind at the end of their academic day. I love showing students how to engage in art projects!

1.  Good tray of watercolors (Roseart and the very inexpensive trays don't keep their colors.)  Crayola is a good brand. Or "student-grade" professional watercolors are really good and not expensive. 
2.  Oil pastels (crayons will work if the students press hard.)
3.  Salt
4.  Roughly 6 sheets of "watercolor paper" as we will be experimenting with water and mixing.
5.  Rub-A-Dub Sharpie laundry permanent black marker. Can be found on Amazon
6.  3-4 different size watercolor brushes (small for details to medium for blending backgrounds)

1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
