Ages 8-10 | NEW! Online Workshop-Canvas and Cookies
Children Course | This program has been canceled
Join me for a weekend art class from your own home studio! Each week we will learn basic acrylic painting techniques along with a fun theme. I will share cookie recipes to make at home or students can eat their own snack while painting. Some techniques include color mixing, blending, layering, dabbing/stippling, dripping, scumbling (swirling), and sgraffito (scratching into the surface).

As an artist, I love drawing and painting, especially with watercolor. My works draw inspiration from nature and imagination. I received my B.A. in Art Education (with a k-12 certification) from UNC in 2012. My goal as an art teacher is to inspire students to create personally-meaningful artwork. Through the discovery of multiple mediums, my hope is to encourage students to take risks and build confidence within their creations.
