This class was created specifically for beginner artists. The lesson is divided into short videos of 3-5 minutes each, so your child can take a break at any time and then continue working.

Take note: Young artists aged 4 to 6 years need the assistance of an adult (especially when working with scissors).

In this class your kid will learn:

basics of collage technique: how to make painted paper, work with templates, cut and paste

how to blend some colors to get different shades: white and black to get gray, green and white to get light green

how to add hand-drawn details using oil pastels and marker

how to create objects from simple shapes

Dear parents, please read the “Note for parents” before the lesson. You can download it in “Resources” section on “Projects & Resources” page.
