Watercolor for Kids with Ember Estridge

Over this 3 week course, we will be exploring how to use watercolor to create three different pieces. Each step will need to dry before adding additional layers of details. Each week, we will do a step on three separate pieces. Students will learn basic watercolor painting techniques and upon completion of the three week classes be able to take home their masterpieces. 

We will be painting a landscape of the woods, an ice cream cone, and an orange branch.

This hour-long class is geared towards 8 to 13 year-olds. Class size is 12 students. 

About the Teacher:

I make illustrative art that is explorative and eclectic in nature. Using vivid colors and whimsical themes, I seek to use art as a tool for coping and overcoming the discordant world we live in. Creating both sequential mass consumption pieces as well as stand-alone gallery pieces, I desire my work to captivate a wide audience.

As an art educator in public Title 1 schools, much of my work is inspired and created around the classroom. I tailor projects and lessons to engage and motivate students, impacting my own art making in the process. The resourcefulness and inventiveness of creating art projects accessible to a wide range of students and ages allows me to see multiple possibilities for each art material.
