I help each young artist find their creative voice by experimenting with different mediums and building their skills with a broad range of mediums including acrylic paint, watercolor, drawing, etc. Throughout the lessons, the young artist will learn how to draw and paint from real life and translate what we see every day into beautiful pieces of artwork. The young artist will also get a chance to learn different styles of painting including but not limited to realism, abstract, and pointillism. Each young artist will continuously build on their knowledge of the basic elements and principles of art and design through both creating art, fun activities, and worksheets. Along with creating art, we will also be having small discussions on the history behind the techniques we are using, and discuss famous painters who influenced how we create art today. Most importantly, we will build each young artist's confidence in their work through positive reinforcement, because there is no “wrong way” to create art, only ways in which we can improve our skills! At the end of each year of lessons, each artist (or each group of artists) will have the opportunity to host an art show of their own! They will learn how to display their art, create a common theme between a few pieces, write an artist's statement, and have the chance to invite family and friends! (They will also have the opportunity to sell some of their work if they choose to do so).

I care for multiple children at a time and assist with homework, school pickup and drop-offs, after-school activity pickup and drop-offs, and small errands. I care for each child as instructed by the parents/guardians based on each family's rules and responsibilities.
