To start off our spring session, we're returning back to the basics... finger and tool painting. After having a week off, I thought it would be a good idea to focus on painting again- and I wanted to introduce our new student, Jacob, to our painting process. Welcome Jacob! Since our last class, Kirsten became a big sister- Congratulations to you and your family!
I initially offered the children bowls of paint and spoons to begin their work, while some of them had already begun taking materials off the shelf to use with their paint. Kate was a little hesitant to join the table at first, but she began to warm up when the cars came out! The cars were a big hit with everyone! Jacob discovers the easel. After a while, I brought out our new glitter shakers. Karuna and Kirsten eye each other as they hold on tight to their glitter. Grace investigates the glitter bottle that's now plugged up with paint. Kirsten manages to carry three glitter bottles over to me as she asks for the water bucket. Here it is!
Thanks for stopping by! I’m an artist, entrepreneur, mother of 2, and early childhood educator. I began my career as a preschool teacher, deeply intrigued by the use of art in the preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy. While working towards a Masters in education, I had the amazing opportunity to take part in a study tour of the preschools in Reggio Emilia. This experience has shaped who I am as a teacher, an artist, and business owner.
In January of 2010 I began offering toddler art classes in my back cottage. This wonderful experience lead to the creation of The Art Pantry, an online shop for children's art supplies and creative resource for parents and caregivers.
I am extremely passionate about what I do and love sharing it all with you.
Please say hello!
