Join me for a fun, informal art camp where we meet three times to create paintings of three different styles of butterflies. I will lead students in a step-by-step process of how to use their unique style to make their very own artwork. 

Topics to be discussed will be:
-Choosing colors-how to and what colors are appropriate for this topic
-Using dark and light shades to show depth in your artwork.
-How varying brush strokes (soft and hard) and the size of the brush will help create shadows, depth, and a variety of visual differences.
-Creativity-how using your own unique style creates the perfect art piece. 

Students will learn:
-Day #1: Introduction to Butterflies and Butterfly trivia. A step-by-step process of drawing and painting the 1st butterfly.  
-Day #2: Butterfly story. A step-by-step process of drawing and painting the 2nd butterfly. 
-Day #3: Butterfly story. A step-by-step process of drawing and painting the 3rd butterfly. 

I am a high energy, encouraging teacher and my classes are hands-on and engaging. I use various methods to help children learn to paint a unique art piece. These methods include: reading stories related to the topic, color theory, drawing technique and lots of lively discussions.
