This unique and interdisciplinary course for students ages 5-7 incorporates the worlds of storytelling and painting into one fun experience. Instructor Rachel Woelfel will begin each class with a reading of children's literature from children's literature powerhouses such as Eric Carle, Shel Silverstein, and more. Then, students will be guided through the painting process of creating scenes of their favorite moments, themes, or characters in acrylic paint. Students will learn painting fundamentals such as color mixing, shading, brush application, and narrative. Each week a new book will be covered and a new exciting painting will be ready to take home and shown off.
