THIS CLASS HAS BEEN CANCELLED. WE’LL BE OFFERING ANOTHER CLASS WITH GEORGETTE STARTING IN JANUARY. CONTACT EDUCATION@ROWAYTONARTS.ORG IF YOU’D LIKE TO REGISTER EARLY.
This class is for students ages 6-10 who enjoy and are capable of working at an easel for one hour. I teach the basics of acrylic painting and color theory based on the color wheel. (Please wear a smock and painting clothes)
We’ll begin the class with 10-15 minutes of yoga postures and stretches to help the kids unwind from a busy day at school. We’ll then get to work in the relaxing art studio where students are welcome to work on projects of their own with personal guidance and instruction.
Students are encouraged to bring in photos of something that interests them or work from my photos of animals. Students will learn every part of the process of painting from how to set up, and break down on their own, including clean-up. I will be circling around giving individual attention to help with the creative process.
