Children ages 3-6 will explore various art techniques and materials as they create layered mixed media pieces. Each session will focus on a new project which will offer students ways of expressing their artistic side in a unique way.
WEEK 1 - FABRIC WALL HANGING
Students will decorate fabric with stamps and paint/fabric markers to create a wall hanging. The piece will be attached to a stick and a handle will be created with pipe cleaners and beads making it easy to display at home.
WEEK 2 - SCULPTURE
Students will build a small sculpture out of wood bits and cardboard. In addition, final touches of color will be added with paint marker and watercolor paint.
WEEK 3 - PORTRAIT
Who doesn’t love a portrait made by a young artist!? During week 3, students will create a simple portrait as they practice drawing from observation. They will create a background for their portraits and fill their drawing with color.
WEEK 4 - ABSTRACT MIXED MEDIA
For the last week, students will explore various mixed media to make a layered piece on canvas. The experience will include drawing, painting, and gluing.

About Lisa:
Lisa Haskell is a fine artist and educator with ten years of teaching experience in the classroom and at a Summer camp which she ran for eight years. Lisa is currently in her third year of teaching art to Pre-K through 8th grade students at Frankford Friends School and thoroughly enjoys the process of introducing students to new skills and techniques. Lisa states, “I need art in my everyday life, and I am most happy as a teacher when my day includes creating with my students. I am truly inspired by working with young artists and appreciate watching the way in which they approach their work in a seemingly effortless way without over analyzing, without questioning their intent, absolutely certain of each next move. One of my main considerations in teaching school age children is the value I place on the process of creating rather than the product.”
