During this 60-minute class, learners will sketch several different shaped crystals.  They will understand how crystals are made up of geometric shapes and patterns.  Each learner will watercolor a colorful crystal and will utilize highlights and shadows to capture a realistic image. 

This is a beginner course, so I encourage learners to ask questions and share their work so I can help them along the way.    My goal is to make this a comfortable, fun, and interactive learning experience. 

Step by step instruction will be taught:
To pencil sketch different crystals using basic geometric shapes 
The names of the different shape crystals
To paint a watercolor crystal
How to use a light source to create highlights and shadows in their watercolors

Drawing and painting crystals can help kids: 
Understand shapes and lines
Think outside the box
Use their imagination 
Express their emotions and feelings
Develop mobility skills
Acquire hand-eye coordination

We will discuss crystals, gems, and minerals while learners create their masterpiece.
