In this one time art class, students will paint jellyfish along with me as I demonstrate each step. 
Students will learn how to use watercolor painting techniques to create a beautiful artwork. We will use the wet on wet technique, splatter painting, and various brush strokes with different size brushes. We will talk about how to contrast cool colors and warm colors. We will discuss foreground, mid ground, and background as it relates to composition. Artists will learn about depth in art by creating layered trees and layered hills in their painting.

My teaching style is relaxed. Students can go at their own pace. I will encourage students to show me their artwork along the way so that I can give feedback that is both educational and enthusiastic.  Learners will get to interact with me and with each other, while creating their own artwork and watching my demonstration. At the end of class, students can show their artwork to each other and to me. If students don't feel comfortable sharing, students may opt to post a photo of the finished project in the classroom.

My classes are safe spaces for young artists to explore their creative talents. All skill levels are welcome. Students will be free to use their imagination and make artwork in a way that feels right for them. In my art classes I emphasize that there is no right or wrong way to make art. Students are welcome to use my project ideas as a jumping board and to be as creative and unique as they would like. 

Any prior basic painting experience is recommended, but not required, for this class.
