First, know that I only teach on
Wednesday’s. Depending on the lesson you choose is how many Wednesday’s I will be coming. The lessons will be 45 minutes to 1 hour. Also know that I only travel to places 10-15 minutes from my residence. I live near Marietta High School. Your address will be asked during first contact.

You contact me telling me what package you have chosen, and how many children will be attending.

Even if you have children of multiple age groups attending the same lesson (example age 6 and age 12) it can still be fun and engaging for both. They can learn from each other and help each other. I will adapt the lesson for both ages.

A covid and liability waiver will be emailed to you. You will then email it back signed, or sign it and have it for me the day of the lesson.

If there are any allergies in the household please let me know BEFORE the lesson, not the day of.

If the day of the lesson your household has traveled in the last 2 weeks out of state or the country please let me know. If you or anyone in your household has had a fever in the past 2 weeks please let me know. Masks are not required. I will be wearing a face shield. Hand washing will happen when I arrive. I will bring a temporal thermometer and temperatures will be taken of all who are attending.

I will come to your home 10-15 minutes prior to lesson to set up.

Payment will be made before the lesson begins. I accept cash or check. The check has to be made out to me. I will give you a receipt upon payment.

Make sure whomever is engaging in the lesson is wearing something that, if it gets messy, will bring no worries.

If you picked a package where you have the supplies, make sure they are available. No matter what we will continue the lesson. Sometimes I might have extra supplies, but there will be a supply fee added to the charge.

The lesson must be in a room that is well lit and ventilated with a table and access to a sink.

Depending on the lesson, their could be paint or a mess, I will bring a vinyl tablecloth, but be aware that accidents can happen and I will not be liable.

My iPad is used often as a visual aid. An internet source is appreciated.

You can accompany your children and engage during the lesson if you like. It is not required. I only require that you do not leave the household while I am there. Relax, have a coffee, and kick your feet up. Or do chores that you have been meaning to do, or if you have to work from home- go ahead. Just remember that if you engage during the lesson that it is not about creating art that looks like mine or “perfection”.

There are many categories to choose from. I will help with ideas and topics but the subject is for you to choose.

If you have an idea that you think does not fit in any of the categories let me know and I will try to create something.

Ages will be 6-18. If you have special circumstances, or a individual that you would like to have in my class but does not fit in my criteria, please discuss it with me and I will consider it.

🕶On Trend:
We will discuss and pick a topic or media that is on trend right now. This can be used with various media’s including painting, drawing, and mixed media. This can be 1 to 2 lessons.

🌊Art History Lesson:
We will choose an artist or art movement to create a lesson around. This gets broken down into 3 separate lessons.

🐲Cultural Lesson:
We create a lesson around a region or culture. This will be 1 to 2 lessons.

🖍Elements or Principles of Art, or Media Experimentation:
These lessons can delve into the many elements and principles of art. Also, we can explore and experiment with different medias. This can be 1 to 3 lessons.

💧Sensory Lesson:
This is more about the experience of using our senses and the moment than about what is being created. These lessons can be a lot of fun! I can tell you ideas and examples and you decide what would be best. This will be just 1 lesson. This lesson also can get a little messy, but that’s part of the fun.

🌿Nature Lesson:
This requires some time outside, but can be fun. This is also dependent on the weather. If the weather is bad the lesson will have to be moved to a later date. For these lessons we will discuss an nature artist or outdoor sculptures and then go out to create our own. This will be 1 lesson.

💵Pricing
Prices will vary depending on media or involvement in the lesson that has been decided on unless you have your own supplies. I only will teach a maximum of 4 students at a time. Lessons are 45 minutes to an hour. When it comes to me supplying, some media will be shared, for example we will share my paint. Some will not, for example a stretched canvas.

If you have supplies:
1 student- 22$
2 students- 20$ per student
3 students- 18$ per student
4 students- 16$ per student

If you do not have supplies:
1 student- $26-$30
2 students- $24-$28 per student
3 students- $22-$26 per student

After lesson is finalized there will be at least 2 weeks before lesson begins. This should be enough time to order or acquire supplies. I will give you a supply list if you plan to acquire it yourself so no worries!
