Come Join the Fun - Art Classes with Kristin!

I love teaching!

I love getting to know you!

I find great joy in sharing what I have learned about art materials, how to use them, and how to get our ideas out of our heads and onto various

Surfaces to be enjoyed!

One of my favorite questions is, "What if???" Think of all the possibilities!

You will be in good hands!  I have an Art Education Degree from Miami University of Ohio, and have been certified to teach in Ohio and Minnesota.  I have taught elementary, jr. high, and high school age students in a school setting as well as in small groups in my home studio.  I also enjoy working with adults.  I have been teaching for over 24 years!

My current class schedule is as follows:

Special one day classes can be set up through email.

I will be teaching classes this year at Pine Center For The Arts.  Here are the monthly schedules through June 2019:

Homeschooling Open Studio Workshop - Ages 12 - Adult

Wednesdays 1-2 pm

Join me in this open studio setting for experimentation, exploration, and joy filled art making.  Each month we will focus on a different element or principle of design while working from our own photos or subject matter and medium. 

This class will be unique in that each student will focus on their area of interest both in the type of medium - drawing, watercolor, acrylic, oil (odorless), pastels, collage, mixed-media, oil pastels, ink, etc., and in the subject matter (each student may bring their own reference photos or still life objects, etc.). 

Students bring their own supplies. 

I will teach and demo the design element/principle then work with each student individually on their project and how to apply what is taught that day.  An Art Supply kit is available to purchase for $15 and there will be a project suggestion if students don’t already have an idea of what they want to do.
