Kids Art Exploration
Starting January 2022!
(course will be open for registration
each December for a January start
and each August for a September start )
Please inquire about scholarships or reduced rates....
we believe in making art accessible for all!
There is nothing more pure and exciting
than tweens and teens expressing themselves
through art-making.
Our same vibrant in-person Kid's Art Class is moving on-line
to be enjoyed by all...
no matter where you are!
Perfect for traveling families,
families living abroad,
homeschoolers,
or kids who just are not getting enough art at school.
Art Exploration includes:
Monthly Project
Weekly Support
Acrylic painting of various styles
Techniques as the primary focus/basis
Sketching/drawing
Collage
Watercolor
Paint pouring
Fabric dying
Weaving
and more!
Sample Month:
Week 1: Project of the month presented and begun
Week 2: Live Q&A to assist kids in progressing with the project
Week 3: Implementation week and critiques as needed
Week 4: Final Details and Finishing Touches
10 months of projects (no projects in Dec and April to allow for catch-up) over 12 months
and 2 months of lite and fun summer projects will be delivered in July and August.
Bonus Projects will be available for those who work fast or to be utilized during the 2 off months.
Live class time with the instructor will begin at 2:30 PST
(all live sessions will be recorded)
Printable PDFs will be available
to help with the process and progress of each project
Private Facebook Group for the kids
to share work and encourage each other, get advice, etc.
Note:
This course is designed for big kids
(approx. 5th grade and up/tweens and teens),
but can be enjoyed by younger kids
who excel at art-making
and who can work in at least a 2-hour block of time.
The skills used are a little more advanced
(precise cutting, drawing, gluing, etc.),
so just knowing where your child is realistically
will set them up for success
and the best possible experience...
Sitting with your younger child to guide them is also an option.
Must complete the following mini-courses before joining:
Brushes 101 (free)
Mark making 101 (free)
Color 101
Collage 101
Beginning Painting
Intro to Intuitive Painting
Upon completion of the following,
students will have a one-on-one session with the instructor
to get feedback on their completed projects
and to assess skill set requirements to enter the group.
This gets all kids on the same page
with the same base,
vocabulary,
skillset, etc.,
and allows them to focus on the content of the course
and more advanced skills going forward.
If your child can demonstrate prior knowledge of these skills,
I am happy to wave the requirements
for those progressed along on their art journey already.
Looking forward to making art with you!
