Acrylic Painting with Shiva
1st Grade through 5th Grade
In this acrylic painting class, students will be able to experience paint on canvas while using different brush strokes to create a painting starting from a blank canvas. Each painting starts with drawing a basic idea such as a fruit, flower, bird, or landscape. A thin layer of base coat is applied to the canvas to define different color profiles. Each subsequent week, a new layer of paint is applied, working our way from background to foreground. Within 3-4 classes, a beautiful painting is completed. I will seal the painting in with spray varnish for an everlasting gloss and enhanced durability. The final result is a beautiful painting that makes parents proud of their children’s artistic capabilities.
Paintings can be taken home after varnishing is completed

Ceramics Hand Building with Shiva
Kindergarten – 5th Grade
In this ceramic hand-building class, students will transform clay into art by utilizing several hand building techniques such as pinching, coils, slabs, and sculpting. They will also learn to make and attach separated finishing pieces such as handles, knobs, and decorations. After completing the clay project, it will be fired to a bisque in the kiln, preparing it for glazing. One final firing completes the process, and the end result is a one-of-a-kind clay creation.

with each class. Projects vary by term, switching between decorative and
practical items.
