I have a great fondness and connection with children of all ages, and I have a lot of experience with them. I understand that children have different needs than adults, and I approach teaching them in a way that helps them feel free to be themselves. Some kids are shy, some kids dive right in. Sometimes, its a group of all kinds of personalities - I work with that, too.
My children’s classes typically last for 3 hours. We start with chatting and I like to share a bit of my story about making art. From there, I show them some art techniques and then I follow their response to see what techniques they seem most drawn to. This helps the kids actually have fun. I do create structure, and they do learn art techniques that you find in the art world, but for them, we are exploring the imagination and trying new things.
I typically teach children’s classes by request. Please contact me if you are interested in booking a children’s art class at your private residence, or in a group setting like a school or community centre.
