Art Workshop 001
America 250: Art & History Workshop 1
American Romanticism: America the Beautiful (Watercolor)
Location: TBA
Date: TBA
Type:
Parent/ Guardian and Child class (2 individuals)
Individual class: Adults and Seniors. Children 12+
A parent–child watercolor workshop exploring early 1800s American Romantic art. Families learn how artists used landscape, color, and emotion to express the spirit of a young nation, then create expressive landscapes inspired by nature, memory, and personal connection.
Parents and children paint side by side as they learn color mixing, create depth through foreground, middle ground, and background, and build a peaceful landscape while developing confidence with foundational watercolor techniques in a fun, encouraging environment.
This is a relaxed, process-focused experience—not a technical class. No pressure—just you and your kid spending a creative moment together.
Adult class very similar.

Art Workshop 002
Long before selfies, Instagram and TikTok leaders like George Washington used portrtaits to shape how people saw them. They were the ORIGINAL INFLUENCERS!
Bring your child for an evening of art, mystery, and history as we uncover the hidden clues inside famous Revoluntionary-era portraits.
Become a Portrait Detective and see if you can discover the secret messages hidden in these famous paintings.
Then it’s your turn. We’ll follow along as I guide you through a simple technique for drawing the human face, then you’ll be set free to make it your own.
Using artist-level gel crayons (similar to oil pastels but less messy), you and your child will create your own symbolic portrait filled with meaning. You’ll add at least five personal clues inside your artwork—your hobbies, dreams, favorite places, family, pets, or future goals—and tell your own story.
This is a relaxed, process-focused experience—not a technical class. No pressure—just you and your kid spending a creative moment together.

Transverse Lines, 1923 by Wassily Kandinsky

“Color is the keyboard, the eyes are the harmonies, the soul is the piano.”Wassily Kandinsky
LET THE MUSIC MOVE YOU.
A Watercolor painting experience
Step away from the everyday and into a creative journey that nourishes the soul. In this 1 ½ hours adult class, we'll explore the life and ideas of Wassily Kandinsky, the artist who believed that color, shape, and sound could speak the language of the soul.
You'll learn a little about art history, abstract expressionism, and how Kandinsky "painted the music." Then, with inspiring classical music playing, you'll create your own original abstract painting-guided by feeling, not perfection.
Watercolor and ink. No drawing skills required. This is a relaxed, process-focused experience—not a technical class. No pressure, no rules—just you, the music, and your creativity.
