Hello! If you are learning art from me, this page is where you can find any schedule changes, general class info, and resources to aid in your art journey! See you in class! :)
Hi All,
I apologize for the late notice, but I had to cancel classes today. I was involved in a small car accident and am resting and recovering. I'm okay and only sustained minor injuries! Classes will resume next week. See you all soon!
Best,
Amirah Chatman
This second half of the winter art sessions, we're painting birds! We'll be using watercolors mainly, with a couple acrylic projects thrown into the mix as well. Materials provided.
We're starting with the basic building blocks this week and focusing on feathers! Using the wet-into-wet technique, we'll be getting comfy with imperfection and the unpredictable nature of watercolor.
We're continuing with the wet-into-wet technique to create a stunning yet delicate image of one of my favorite harbingers of Spring: Hummingbirds. We'll be loosely following along Dana Fox's hummingbird painting on Pg. 47, except we'll be using colors of our choosing.
We're painting some adorable, simple-yet-effective bluebirds today! Using simple shapes and the wet-into-wet technique, we can create recognizable and adorable birds in a variety of poses.
Today we're painting some simple hens using the techniques we've been working with all winter!
Winter Session 2 is upon us! Every week we'll be doing something new. Check back here for updates!
Blind contour drawing is a drawing exercise that involves drawing the outline of a subject without looking at the paper. It's a way to improve hand-eye coordination and observational skills.
It's getting warmer outside! To celebrate, we'll be painting some Spring flowers with my favorite painting tool: our hands!
Today we're painting with paper! We'll be drawing a flower, and using torn or cut pieces of construction paper and glue sticks to "color" in the shapes we drew!
Get ready to be a Spring King or Spring Queen with some paper flower crowns!

Note: Please do not feel any pressure to purchase anything for our classes! I am happy to photocopy any material for you, and I also strongly urge you to visit your local library to find art books too! I found this one at mine. :)
Kristy Rice is one of my favorite art instructors on youtube, and her instruction style has greatly inspired mine!
I love this technique, and I think you all could create many different birds using this format!
